Is mentioned in a link in another post. Is it a place notorious for junkies or quick on the draw gangsters?

Googling, I see there are a few robbing estate agents there. One's asking 400k for a 2 bedroom flat in need of extensive refurbishment.

Cannot find any definitive reasons for its name, but found this.

SHOOT-UP HILL/SHOOTER’S HILL

Shoot-up Hill is in Kilburn, north west London and Shooter’s Hill, south of the river in Greenwich. The latter reputedly gets its name from being a place of medieval archery practice. It’s likely therefore that the Kilburn street is the equivalent. Shoot-up Hill causes some jocularity with locals as it is an area where there are quite a large number of homeless hostels (associated with drug abuse).
