Camden 013 · 5 sub-areas · 9,123 residents
Camden 013 is a dense, well-connected pocket of Camden, home to around 9,100 people and sitting just minutes from central London. A typical two-bedroom flat lets for about £2,465 a month, and rents here actually fell around 6.5% last year, making it one of the more interesting value plays in inner north London right now.
Kilburn Grange is a workplace corner of Camden — daytime population swells with commuters, the streetscape leans busy and built-up rather than residential, and most residents who do live here rent rather than own. The population skews young, with a high concentration of 18- to 34-year-olds; the rental market is active and turnover is high — people move through rather than stay.

Kilburn Grange in Camden
Living in Kilburn Grange
Camden 013 sits in the inner borough, close enough to central London that most residents reach a major employment hub in under six minutes by public transport. That's not a typo — at under 6 minutes to the nearest major job centre, this is as connected as urban living gets. The neighbourhood has a particular density to it: tall Victorian and Edwardian stock, relatively little in the way of gardens, and a population that turns over with some regularity given the high share of private renters.
On cost, Camden 013 is genuinely cheaper than large swathes of inner London, though that's not a low bar. A two-bedroom flat runs around £2,465 a month, and a one-bedroom closer to £1,930. Rents fell roughly 6.5% over the past year, which is unusual in this part of the city and worth noting if you're currently weighing up a move. A three-bedroom will push toward £2,875. Council tax (Band D) runs to around £2,208 a year — in line with Camden's borough rate.
Who lives here is a telling mix. Over a third of residents are aged 18 to 34, which shapes the character of the place considerably. Single-person households make up more than a third of all homes, and owner-occupation is low at just under a quarter — around 43% of residents are private renters, and a substantial 33% are in social housing, which is unusually high for this part of Camden. The degree-educated share stands at over 55%, well above national norms. Just over half of residents were born in the UK, and the ethnic diversity index sits at 63.5, reflecting a genuinely mixed community.
Practically, the nearest underground or mainline rail station is around 400–450 metres away — a five- or six-minute walk. The area has 100% gigabit broadband coverage and zero lines below the minimum upload/download standard, which matters if you're working from home — and over half of residents do.
