The College has three campuses located at Willesden (Dollis Hill tube), Kilburn and Wembley Park (overlooking Wembley Stadium), with purpose-built workshops and facilities. These include a new state-of-the-art Technology block at Willesden and an award-winning environmentally-friendly building at Kilburn with solar features. All centres are close to bus and tube stops.
The Willesden Centre boasts a prestigious School of the Arts, achieving special success in art & design, media, photography and performing arts. From September 2009 it will offer a Creative Arts & Media Diploma.

The predecessor of CNWL was Kilburn Polytechnic founded in 1895. In the 1930s Willesden Technical College was established, specialising in construction, engineering, automotive and allied subjects. Eventually, the two centres merged in 1992 to form the College of North West London and soon added a campus at Wembley Park.
