Selale
One of the best Turkish Restaurants in North London. Always busy, especially on weekends when you have to reserve seats to avoid standing outside. Amazing customer service, great food and a reasonable price for the standard. You should try the lamb and chicken grill.Read more

"In March 1918, self-proclaimed World's Greatest Magician Chung Ling Soo (or Bill Robinson as his parents knew him!) performed his world famous "catch a bullet with his teeth" trick at the Wood Green Empire. Sadly, it didn't work and it him square in the chest."
It's really easy to get into central London on the Piccadilly line from Wood Green Station.

Pretty Victorian terraces within Wood Green's conservation areas give it a family atmosphere...

I love going to Alexandra Park on the weekend - the views over London are second-to-none!

Tereza Catarov - Debut Album release - Koren
Tereza Catarov is a London-based singer, pianist, and composer whose music bridges contemporary jazz with traditional Balkan and Eastern European influences. Her work is deeply rooted in the multicultural heritage of her upbringing, blending Romanian and Bulgarian folk traditions with jazz. Her debut album, Koren meaning "root" in several Slavic languageshonours the voices of the women who shaped her early life, particularly her grandmothers and the broader community of elders from her childhood. It is a sonic archive of resilience, told through original compositions, reimagined folk melodies, and fragments of oral history. For this project, Tereza assembled a stellar international ensemble: Yiorgos Bereris (piano), Cem Evin (guitar), Thodoris Ziarkas (double bass), and Billy Pod (drums). Together, they create an intimate yet expansive soundscapewhere traditional folk melodies meet contemporary improvisation, and ancient languages find new life. Tereza has performed at prestigious festivals such as the EFG London Jazz Festival, Swingin Groningen, JazzX, and Jazz in the Park (winning first prize in 2018). She has graced iconic venues, including the Southbank Centre, Vortex Jazz Club, and Pizza Express Jazz Club Soho. Her music has garnered acclaim, with features in London Jazz News, airplay on Jazz FM and National Romanian Radio, and a televised video premiere on National Romanian Television. With her evocative storytelling, expressive vocal style, and deep respect for tradition, Tereza Catarov continues to shape a unique musical voice that resonates across cultures.

Still Waters
Line Up: Henry Lowther (trumpet), Pete Hurt (tenor sax), Barry Green (piano), Dave Green (bass), Paul Clarvis (drums). Henry Lowthers Still Waters was born out a long association and friendship, going back forty years, between Henry and bassist Dave Green. They both felt that the time had arrived to play the music of their choice, together with some of the finest jazz musicians working in Britain today. As a result Still Waters is now one of the most accomplished, tightly ensembled and creative bands around. Although a classic quintet of two front line and rhythm, Still Waters plays radical and original music, ranging from gentle, quietly pastoral and melodic music, reflecting the bands name, through to dynamic, free improvisation. Henry Lowther was born in Leicester, England, in 1941. Over the last 60 years Henrys work on the British jazz scene reads like a Whos Who. He has played regularly with, amongst many others, Gordon Beck, Michael Garrick, Graham Collier, Mike Gibbs, Pete King, Loose Tubes, John Surman, John Taylor, Stan Tracey and Kenny Wheeler Meltingly attractive solos, startling originality.
