The O2 Shopping Centre close to Finchely Road station is outside of Brent but easily accessible on the east side of the borough from the Jubilee and Metropolitan Lines and a shopping venue for many with its large bookshop and Sainsbury's as well as a cinema.

Two years ago the developers envisaged 1,000 homes on the site but this has been double to 2,000 in latest proposals.
