The College of North West London (also known as CNWL) is a further education college for students in North West London.
It is located on three sites which are in Willesden, Wembley Park and Kilburn. Formerly, CNWL had a site at Dollis Hill itself which specialised in building trades, but this closed in the late 1990s and its services were merged into the nearby central site at Willesden.

[edit] Willesden site
Willesden is the College's main centre and is situated in Dudden Hill Lane, five minutes' walk from Dollis Hill tube station on the Jubilee Line. Courses range from Access courses (entry to university), BTEC Diplomas and Certificates and GCSEs to Foundation degrees and HE qualifications.
[edit] Wembley Park site
The college had two main blocks, but pending redevelopment of one of them (Crescent House), courses are transferring to Arena House almost next door from September 2007. Arena House is very easy to access, being virtually opposite Wembley Park tube station. The Tower Restaurant - the College's catering facility open to the public - will stay at Crescent House for the time being, but will move to Arena House during the autumn/winter.
[edit] Kilburn site
A brand new £5 million College centre has opened in Priory Park Road, Kilburn, almost opposite the College's old site, which has been sold for housing development. The new building was officially opened on 31 August 2007 by the Mayor of London Ken Livingstone.
[edit] Awards
The college holds 4 Centre of Vocational Excellence (CoVE) awards.
