The College of North West London (CNWL) is a further education college in North West London offering a wide range of full time and part time courses, from beginner level to degree level. Over 14,000 students aged 14 onwards study at two campuses in Willesden, Wembley Park, and a former site in Kilburn. CNWL can trace it roots back to 1890, and the formation of Willesden Polytechnic, on the site of the current Kilburn campus. From 1893, the Willesden committee for technical education organized classes in Willesden town hall. In 1896 Middlesex County Council bought the St. Lawrence institute in Priory Park Road, and by 1898 The Willesden Polytechnic was formed with 1,571 students. A new building was developed for the polytechnic, opening in 1904 on Glengall Road, Kilburn. As World War I took it toll on the male working class population, the polytechnic offered a course in 1917 to women between the ages of 18 to 35 inlight woodwork for aeroplane components. From 1932, Middlesex County Council undertook a large development in Willesden, and in 1934 split the polytechnic into Kilburn Polytechnic (on the original site), and the new Willesden College of Technology.
