Birchington Road runs from the Edgware Road to West End Lane.
In 1866 plans were approved for a number of roads on the Powell Cotton Liddell estate, mostly named after places in Kent near the Powell-Cotton family seat of Quex Park: Quex Road, Birchington Road and Mutrix Road.
In 1947 the L.C.C. announced a scheme for 104 flats in Kilburn Vale. The estate, south of West End Lane, which involved the demolition of some of the earliest building in the area in Kilburn Vale and Abbey Lane, was opened c. 1951. A second phase of the Kilburn Vale estate, north of West End Lane, bound by Mutrix and Quex roads and involving the demolition of the eastern part of Birchington Road, was completed by 1984.
