Starr Locksmith

Starr Locksmith Kilburn N6

Starr Locksmith used to operate from the long-established Locksmith shop (pictured) at 40E Kilburn High Road, London, Greater London NW6 5UA. The original Starr Locksmith vacated the shop in 2007.

When this opportunity came, we briefly occupied the shop together with its long-standing local telephone number 020 7625 1001, ensuring that customers could continue to reach a genuine local Locksmith at the same trusted Kilburn location.

The photo to the left is the old shop on Kilburn High Road which we no longer have open, but we are still in the area on a daily basis.

We love Kilburn for its incredible energy, rich history, and vibrant community spirit. We take immense pride in serving its diverse residents—whether you're an international actor, a gigging musician, or a lifelong local, everyone is treated with the exact same dignity and respect.

Choose a Genuine Kilburn NW6 Locksmith—Not a National Call Centre

When searching for a reliable locksmith in Kilburn NW6 or across North London, it pays to do your homework. Many online listings appear local but are actually national call centres that dispatch untrained, third-party subcontractors from miles away.

This setup frequently results in a frustrating "bait-and-switch" routine—quoting an unrealistically low price on the phone, only to drastically inflate the bill once they arrive. These subcontractors also tend to use destructive entry methods, install substandard hardware, and hit you with hidden emergency fees.

How to Spot a Real Local Locksmith: Check the Landline

An established, trustworthy Locksmith will always provide a fixed London landline, confirming they are a permanent fixture in your community instead of a hidden call centre.

The local BT dialling code for this area is '020 7625', and you can always reach us on our long-standing, trusted local number:

Important Information When Choosing a Locksmith

Avoiding Locksmith Scams

Finding a locksmith during an emergency can be stressful, which unfortunately makes it easier for rogue traders to take advantage. For advice from the Master Locksmiths Association on spotting dishonest operators, click here .

Customer Reviews

Online reviews can be helpful, but not all reviews are genuine. We encourage customers to look for consistent feedback across multiple platforms and to verify reviews wherever possible.

Ask for the Full Cost

Before agreeing to any work, ask for a clear breakdown of all charges. This helps avoid unexpected call-out fees, labour costs, lock surcharges, or other additional charges being added later.

Take Time to Compare

Even in urgent situations, it is worth obtaining more than one quotation where possible. A reputable locksmith will be transparent about pricing and happy to explain the work required.

Information & History about Kilburn

The story of Kilburn NW6 begins as an ancient thoroughfare. Long before it was a bustling urban neighbourhood, Kilburn High Road was a Celtic trackway that the Romans paved into a major highway, later named Watling Street by the Anglo-Saxons. The name "Kilburn" itself is rooted in history, deriving from the Saxon words for a cold stream or "cattle stream" (the Kilburn Brook), which once flowed down from Hampstead. In 1134, a small priory was established where the road crossed the water, turning Kilburn into a vital and welcoming resting point for medieval pilgrims traveling north to holy shrines. As the centuries rolled on, the area transitioned from a rural farming village into a lively spa resort in the 18th century, when a local natural spring was discovered and transformed into the popular "Kilburn Wells" tea gardens.

Fascinating Local Stories

Beyond its grand architecture, Kilburn is steeped in incredible literary and pop-culture lore. In the late 19th century, a private school called Henley House stood at the corner of Kilburn Priory; its headmaster’s son, A.A. Milne, was born there in 1882, meaning the creator of Winnie-the-Pooh spent his earliest days in Kilburn. Remarkably, around the exact same time, a young H.G. Wells was hired as the school’s very first science teacher, long before he wrote The War of the Worlds. Fast forward to modern times, Tour de France winner and Olympic champion Sir Bradley Wiggins proudly attended school in Kilburn, famously noting that "kids from Kilburn aren't supposed to win the Tour"—proving the area's knack for fostering extraordinary talent.

Local Life and Community

Today, Kilburn is celebrated as one of London's most wonderfully vibrant, multicultural melting pots. Historically known as the heart of London’s Irish community—earning it the affectionate nickname "County Kilburn"—the neighborhood's cultural fabric has expanded to include rich Afro-Caribbean, Asian, and European influences. This diverse heritage shines through in its thriving local life. The bustling Kilburn High Road is alive with independent bakeries, artisan coffee shops, and historic public houses like the intricately decorated Black Lion.
