Kensal Rise street party
To celebrate almost everyone returning after last Decemember's devastating tornado, the residents of Crediton Road held a very successful street party.

Guides to Kensal Rise
Well they also use my not-that-innovative-name, and they have the cheek to say our beloved area is "still a bit dodgy" (well for me at least it's currently 1-1 on car windows being smashed with Kensington Park Road, so there!), but they do link here (for the Chamberlayne "review") and otherwise it's great to see Gridskipper having a groovy collection of bar/restaurant reviews and a nice use of google maps for Kensal Rise.
They say they got their information on Samson Miro from Urban Junkies, which also has a nice write up.
Basically I think the bar/pub/restaurant collection is just about covered now - there's seven good ones within a 10-min walk of Kensal Rise train station. What the place needs is some decent shops - a butchers would be great.

The Paradise
Is it reopening and refurbished or not? It was open on Bank Holiday Weekend for two Carnival parties, but when I popped by yesterday for a quick drink it was shut again. It looks like it has had a lick of (needed) paint, but that might just be because it was empty.
Update: I went there for dinner on Saturday night. We enjoyed it tremendously - for a start of the dining room is very spacious, and there is a great deal of space around each table, something sadly uncommon in London restaurants. The food was good too - we shared a ham hock terrine, and then I had lamb and my partner seafood risotto. Both were lovely. Good wine list and five choices of wine by the glass, which is always helpful. House champagne not bad too.
I think the refit looks great - hard to tell immediately what has changed, but it all seems fresher. Also see comments from Matthew about the roof terrace, which I didn't check out, but I think they might have a disco upstairs on Sat from 9pm. See here as well.
