In 1888, Willesden Green was a rural suburb of London with a mix of middle-class and working-class residents. The area was known for its green spaces and farms, including the Willesden Green Farm, which was a popular attraction for visitors. The main transport hub in the area was Edgware Road Station, which connected the area to central London.

Willesden Green Station was a newly constructed station, which opened in 1879 on the Metropolitan Railway line, making it easier for residents to travel to central London. The area was also home to The Spotted Dog pub, a historic establishment that was known for its lively atmosphere and community events.

Kilburn & Brondesbury Station was another important transport hub in the area, connecting Willesden Green to other parts of London. Brondesbury Park was a popular green space that offered a peaceful retreat from the bustle of the city.

Paddington Cemetery, located nearby in the Maida Vale area, was a popular burial ground for the affluent residents of the surrounding areas. The cemetery was known for its ornate monuments and beautiful gardens.
