"Architect Erno Goldfinger, designer of distinctive Trellick Tower on Golborne Road, is famous for his Brutalist style. His work gained attention from Ian Fleming, who consequently named his most well known Bond villain Goldfinger after."
I really enjoy this time of year around Queens Park where spring is vividly breaking into life!

Cricklewood is the area where West Hampstead, Willesden Green and Kilburn collide! Full of quirky independent cafes, shops and eateries with a huge variety of cultures all around. An up and coming area with huge regeneration plans which will make it the next big thing and the place to be!

What locals say about Queen's Park and surrounding areas
“Willesden Green is safe, friendly and really well connected!”
Polly
“Firstly, Gladstone Park offers much-needed relief from the stresses of Central London. Getting home (in approx. 18 mins) on the tube and taking a walk up on the hills keeps me balanced in mind, body and spirit. It's a proper neighbourhood. We look out for each other. If someone's dog is locked out, we take him/her back home. Last week, my son was visiting, stood on the front balcony and my neighbour rushed out wanting to know who was there. Another neighbour cut down my hedge because he I saw I was struggling with its height. People are friendly, the Jubilee line gets me in and out of inner London quickly, the park is fantastic and the uniquely painted Edwardian houses are gems to admire as I walk through.”

“Dollis Hill is a friendly and safe neighbourhood with a large park with sports groups, playing fields, cafes and a beautiful walled rose garden. The little high street near Dollis Hill Station has all you need (apart from a butchers) - greengrocer, pharmacy, Portuguese restaurant, newsagent, off-licence, convenience store and garage. A small bit of council investment could make a big difference, as it has a lovely, almost village feel.”

Diesel Park West
“Diesel Park West have been fighting the rock wars for years, and with Secondary Modern Man have in truth recorded the best song Ray Davies never wrote” - Vive Le Rock “How did we ever let this band fall through the cracks” - Classic Rock “Not Quite The America Dream does not tow the fashionable line, it is anti-authoritarian and heartfelt throughout” - Shindig! Diesel Park West are blood and thunder poets of rock’s mercurial terrains. Their best songs are potent charges directed at the spiritual decay and confusion of the times. Better than U2, they became a favourite critical reference point, but the seams they mined were deeper in rock’s rich strata. They studied and effortlessly recast the vibrant purity of Creedence, the sonic alchemy of the Byrds, the raw nerved melodic toughness of The Beatles and the cathartic thrust of The Stones. This will be a full band show performance.Read more
