Brondesbury Park is a leafy and affluent electoral ward in the London Borough of Brent, centred around Brondesbury Park railway station. The area has a number of open spaces, such as Queen's Park and Tiverton Green.

It has the best performing schools in Brent - Malorees and Queens Park.Fact|date=October 2007

The ward returns three councillors to sit on Brent Council, traditionally from the Conservative party. However, in the 2006 local elections Brondesbury Park represented a dramatic victory for local Liberal Democrats, who climbed from third place in 2002 to take all three seats. This was widely attributed to the defection of the popular local campaigner Carol Shaw, who left the Conservatives to join the Liberal Democrats shortly before the Brent East by-election in 2003.
