St Raphael's Estate is a housing estate in Neasden and part of the London Borough of Brent in Northwest London, England.[1] A community centre is located within the estate on Rainborough Close.[2] It forms part of the NW10 postcode.
The low-density estate was built between 1967 and 1982, although some of the land dates back further as Brentfield Estate. It has about 1,174 properties of which the vast majority are owned by the local Brent authority. The estate has a relatively high rate of child poverty, and its geographic location makes it somewhat isolated from Wembley or other retail town centres.[3] To its east, St Raphael's Estate is cut by the A406 North Circular Road dual carriageway, while to its west the River Brent and a recreational ground separates it from the Tokyngton locality of Wembley. The superstores of Brent Park are directly to its north.
It is proposed as of 2010 that 21 new homes will be built on the estate.[1]
The majority of the inhabitants are of Afro-Caribbean heritage.
