Transition Kensal to Kilburn

Building Local Resilience

We’re a local group with a vision to turn our area into a more self-sufficient community, using the Transition model.

Come to our FILM & DISCUSSIONS NIGHT!


We run film nights with speakers and discussions afterwards at the LEXI CINEMA on Chamberlayne Road; it's a fantastic chance to meet your neighbours and get a dose of inspiration. Tickets are £5, all of which goes to fund expenses - check on our EVENTS list for what's coming up next.

Your COMMUNITY NEEDS YOU! (and so do we...):

* A website person - a green hi-tech student perhaps?
* GARDENERS!
* people with outside space who'd like to lend it for growing FOOD!
- patches of land near you that aren't cultivated!

What We've Been Up To So Far!

Transition K =>K, in London has drawn together a group of people covering an area from Kensal Rise (NW10) through Queens Park and over as far as Kilburn High Road (NW6). We've got a number of different groups and activities that you can get involved in - or you can set one up yourself!

Here are just some of the things that are going on at ttK2K:

Awareness Raising: We ran a great stall at Queens Park Day, and regularly run stalls at Queens Park Farmers Market on Sundays. We have been invited to speak to various local groups and residents associations. We host a monthly Green Drinks at Hugos on Lonsdale Road on the last Sunday of each month.

Education: We run a monthly film night at the Lexi Cinema, and hold open meetings at the Constitution Club afterwards. We are planning a Transition Handbook Club for the New Year.

Food Growing and Sourcing: Lots of people are interested in food. We have an Apple Picking project to try to ensure that apples in our area get picked rather than wasted. In 2010 we have plans to Permablitz, run a Harvest Festival, set up Community Allotments and learn to keep Bees. We're also getting good at making chutney and james and swapping foraging tips.

Buildings and Energy: We've alot of expertise about buildings and how to improve insulation and what to do about renewables. In early 2010 we hope to be running Draft Busting mornings to draft proof our houses...

Transport: Cycletastic is a cycling project based in Kilburn, regularly running Dr Bike surgeries, and encouraging more people to get riding.

Recycling: A lot of people are setting up street level recycling projects based on the Greenzones model.

How to use this website: Join in!! Join a group or write a blog. Swap information and tips. Set up meetings or find out about others meetings. Transition is a grass roots movement, this is your community and Transition Kensal to Kilburn is what you make it!
