Did you know?
"In 1673, John Aubrey claimed that Dorking was the greatest market for poultry in England and the Dorking cockerel became famous as large eating birds. The eggs were popular too and were one of the indicators that Queen Victoria was not herself should she not enjoy her Dorking eggs."
Within touching distance of the West End, yet retaining a vibrant neighbourhood feel, Islington is a smart choice for buyers and tenants.

Portobello Panto Presents: The Lion The Witch and The Westway
Portobello Panto Presents: The Lion The Witch and the Westway Notting Hills beloved Panto is making its annual return to the Tabernacle this Winter with the snowtacular: The Lion, The Witch and the Westway The Portobello Panto began more than 30 years ago in a pub on the Portobello Road. Since then, it has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for local charities. Despite the ample glitz, at its core the Panto is a community event that brings together artists, performers and children from the local area to have fun, entertain the crowds and raise money for good causes. As ever, the Panto is reliant on the work of volunteers to get the show on the road. After our 2024 production, Peterbello Panto. raised almost 13,000 for our charities, this year we are raising money for the Shepherds Bush Families Project, The 240 Project and West London Welcome. The funds raised every year for these organisations are vital at the best of times. With that in mind, were determined to raise as much as possible this year.

Letitia Vansant & David Mckindley-Ward
Baltimore-based Letitia Van Sant and David McKindley-Ward have built a faithful following on both sides of the Atlantic and have toured the UK previously, winning many accolades. BBC Radio 2's Mark Radcliffe is a fan and told listeners to his weekly Folk Show they were finely-crafted and not unlike Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, adding and there can be no higher praise than that! They were described as one of the great duos in the Americana firmament today in a review at AmericanaUK. Letitia first came to prominence in 2017 when she won the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Song-writing competition an award previously carried off by the likes of Lucinda Williams and Nanci Griffith. Keen to work with those being marginalised, or poorly represented, and determined to give them a voice, she has dedicated much of her time to voluntary work as a social and environmental advocate. Late last year, when American President Donald Trump threatened to deploy the National Guard on to the streets of her city to quell recent unrest, she recorded a single in protest which was rush-released by her record company, Free Dirt. Paste magazine said: 2Her gentle singsong may strike you as sweet, but listen closer, and you'll realise she is spitting fire."Read more
