Helen Wood likes Brook's

I don't know who this actress is, but a few Queen's Park/Kensal Rise references in this interview.

The Shop & pubs

With a small one now in tow we don't go out much, especially on Saturday evenings. So we took the opportunity of grandma in town to try out The Shop. We had two cocktails, and they were very nice and not too expensive. It looks good in there. Obviously aimed a young crowd with loud music (the horror) but the staff seems friendly and we had a good time.

We then mean to go tot the Chamberlayne, but had to abandon that as it was too busy. And this is now a problem with the Greyhound shut, there is only really one 'pub' in Kensal Rise, with the others quite a way south (the Island is quite near I guess)

Also, there seemed to be (was on the bus so didn't have a good look) something selling clothes, perhaps a charity shop, on Chamberlayne Road towards Kilburn Lane.

I saw it in this news story, but the actual website is here.

Road traffic accidents

A grim subject, but this map lets you see where all road traffic accidents in the UK have taken place (you have to scroll down the page). There's more than you might expect.

The eyesore between the Dinner & Florist about to be no more?

Rik in the comments below:

72 and 74 chamberlayne road (the 2 derelict shops between the Diner and the florist) are about to be sold - it is currently licenced as a drinking establishment (used to be a British Legion) but it could get a licence as a restaurant.

Sale is progressing with exchange to happen soon - so says the selling Agent.

New shop?

Not a lot going on. There's a planning application for 103 Chamberlayne Road,which was that fostering agency. No details, so I'm not sure what it is?
