Eat Sushi

So we tried out the new sushi place at 16 Station Terrace, Eat Sushi. Website is here although (8th March) it's not fully operational. We has a box of ten sashimi (that's just fish), the sushi starter pack (which had six nigiri, which is the rectangle of fish on a bed of rice, and salmon rolls) and two miso soups. This came to about £20.

I eat quite a lot of sushi when at work, until recently from Itsu and more recently from You Me Sushi, on Marylebone Road, which is excellent. I would say this seemed tastier than both of their offerings, although the portions of fish were perhaps a little on the small side (but in some cases cheaper too). The miso soup was very good and it all tasted very fresh.

So we will definitely use it again, although sushi is never a cheap option.

Retro collectables

On our way to the library today we spotted the Solicitors at 81 College Road seemed to be selling furniture, and on peeking in found that in fact it was no longer a solicitors as the solicitor himself, David Goodman, had sold his practice and entered the business of selling collectables. Called DG Retro Collectables, it sells a nice range of homeware and is worth a look.

Lexi Cinema - the March/April schedule

It is here (pdf).

Link added

I've added a link to the Kensal Green Forum. This is, as you might expect, a forum about Kensal Green/Rise, and covers some of the same ground (and other issues) that we do here.

London Overground help

For those who get slightly exasperated with the London Underground I can recommend Live Departure Boards, which show not only what time the trains are leaving but whether they are late or earlier. On my mobile phone I have noticed that usually it is more accurate than the station dispalys.

Here's Kensal Rise [Ha ha one is cancelled as I type, in triumph as ever]

Here's Queen's Park.

Grismby local papers with the latest Kensal Rise/Green news

Apparently former Clash man Mick Jones is to play a charity concert on March 13th at the William IV. Details are here in the largest webpage in history.
