99 Tiny Games in London

Fri, 17 Aug 2012 11:22:41 +0100

This weekend could be your last chance to experience 99 Tiny Games. Scattered through Londons boroughs are 99 tiny games: posters on walls and floors in streets and parks, each one containing rules for an easy-to-play game.

The games are designed to be happened upon and played on the spot. Everything needed to play the game is contained within a simple vinyl poster and the surrounding environment so players might use a nearby mosaic or pattern of bricks, a set of steps or street furniture.

Part of the Mayor of Londons Showtime festival, the idea behind the games was to bring the magic of the London 2012 Games to every corner of the capital. The Mayor of London said: This summer we are hosting the greatest sporting event on earth and this project has a wonderful symmetry. Londoners and visitors alike will have the opportunity to come together to play miniature games in locations right across the capital. Whether striking up play with your friends or family, or engaging with those around you, its another way to bring the community together at this special time for our city.

You can find the exact locations of the games on the 99 tiny games website. However if you would rather spontaneously find them, we suggest walking around Maida Vale, Willesden and Swiss Cottage!

London Cycling Campaign - The Big Ride

Tue, 24 Apr 2012 05:21:05 +0100

Founded in 1978, the London Cycling Campaign is a registered charity that has been actively promoting cycling for over 30 years. The campaign boasts 11,000 members, 33 borough groups, 15 staff, and hundreds of activists constantly engaging politicians and civil servants so they're aware of cyclists' needs. On April 28th the London Cycling Campaign is hoping that the London Mayoral candidates will take note of their demands for further measures for safer streets for cycling in the capital.

The Love London, Go Dutch campaign is calling on the 2012 mayoral election candidates to commit to continental-standard cycling infrastructure in the capital and London cyclist are making their voices heard by joining a family-friendly, fully marshalled, four-mile, traffic-free bike ride through central London.

"We want the mayoral candidates to pledge to make London more liveable for everyone by making our streets as safe and inviting for cycling as they are in Holland" LCC's chief executive Ashok Sinha said, "The Big Ride is our best chance to show the next mayor we're serious about redesigning our streets to make them safer for everyone."Some of the mayoral manifestos show very weak commitments to cycling, so every person who comes to the Big Ride can help push safer cycling up the next mayoral agenda. "Please come and bring your friends and family to this fabulous day out with a purpose."

LCC hope that participants will dress in red and white and bring bells and whistles on the ride to create the carnival atmosphere. For further information on how to join in follow the link for The Big Ride or Sign the GO Dutch petition now

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 02:12:55 +0000

The Paramount office in West End Lane, West Hampstead is currently ranked the best estate agency branch in both London and the UK according to rankings on estate agency review website AllAgents. Paramount Properties is also ranked as the third best estate agency in the UK out of over 8,300 other participating property companies

Allagents is a directory of UK estate agents, letting agents, property management and estate management companies that displays customer submitted reviews, testimonials and complaints.

It is hoped that the scheme will go some way to eradicate rogue companies and individuals form the property business by exposing those who are not readily open or offer poor levels of customer service.

''Not all estate agents work in the same way. Landlords and vendors need to appoint an agent that is honest, assertive, and one that best understands both their individual needs and the local market conditions,'' said Spencer Lawrence, the lettings director of Paramount Properties, estate and letting agents based in West End Lane, West Hampstead.

''We have chosen to actively promote the views of our customers and we now link directly from our website to the All Agents website. We are committed to publishing all of our customer feedback online and have been awarded a best practice transparency profile by AllAgents. We are pleasantly surprised by the results on the All Agents site. Paramount is currently ranked the best estate agency branch in both London and the UK and Paramount Properties is ranked as the third best estate agency in the UK out of over 8,000 other participating estate and letting agents.''

''At Paramount, we try to provide exceptional customer service through a team of experienced, knowledgeable and passionate staff. We build close relationships with our buyers, sellers, tenants and landlords. We use cutting edge marketing to generate diverse applicant pools across the portfolio. We draw on technical innovations and embrace positive change within the industry and involve external experts to ensure we maintain the highest standards at all times,'' he continued.

Go green Camden increasing number of green roofs by 2012

Sat, 16 Oct 2010 13:31:06 +0100

NW6 is set to be a part of Mayor Boris Johnson's Climate Change Adaptation Strategy. We are joined by other London Borough's including the majority of Westminster and the inner parts of Camden, Southwark and Kensington and Chelsea - all of which have been required to build a new green roof. This does not only support the worlds 'go green' campaign but may also reduce fuel bills by providing effective heat insulation on the roof and possibility minimising sound.

There has already been two of these new roofs installed at the Webheath estate in Hampstead in 2009 and more in line to join Boris's Strategy. The London Borough of Camden has endeavored to substantially increase the existing number by 2012.

South Hampstead's current contribution to this scheme is already in progress on Rowley Lane. Many other similar schemes are already in early stages through out the borough.

Camden's 'Environmental Sustainability Delivery Plan' which commits to protect the environment and develop a more sustainable future for the borough. They promise to strive to help residents and businesses alike do what they can to reduce environmentally harmful actions and contribute to the scheme.

These steps do not only just support the worlds 'go green' campaign and the 'World Green Roof Congress' but may also reduce fuel bills by providing effective heat insulation on the roof and possibility minimising sound. The new roofs can also act as a coolant in the hot weather possibly making air-conditioning bills lower.

West Hampstead Thameslink Station is being given a make over!

Thu, 14 Oct 2010 16:41:05 +0100

Preparatory work has started in building a new West Hampstead Thameslink station and revival of the surrounding area, in a project which is part of Camden Councils "Place Shaping Strategy". The strategy involves making significant improvements in order to make West Hampstead a more pleasant and enjoyable place to live, work and visit. The building of a new station and associated improvements are funded jointly by the council and Network Rail as part of its £5.5bn Thameslink program, the aim of which is to massively increase the capacity of passengers on north-south services through London, and to improve the interchanges within the West Hampstead Underground and Overground stations and ease congestion across routes.

Network Rail say that after improvements the station will be a brighter and safer place, more equipped to handle the extra passengers. The station itself will be built with a "living roof" living as it will be planted with flowering sedum plants, making the view from surrounding offices and residential premises attractive and visually appealing.

On Iverson Road the pedestrian crossing will be improved to make it easier for people to cross the street, and the pavements are being widened for safety and extra space for pedestrians. The space along the footpaths will be landscaped into a tree-lined walkway, as well as new cycle racks which will be incorporated making the area more pleasant and in keeping with the new "green" station.

More passengers are expected to travel in the Thameslink as new longer trains are introduced in 2015, changing them from 8 carriages to 12. A new foot bridge will be installed in preperation, allowing easier access to all platforms. The platforms at the Thameslink station are being extended and should complete by the end of 2010, beginning of 2011.

Will retail giant Sainsburys take the place of the closed down mini market on West End Lane?

Tue, 28 Sep 2010 11:27:35 +0100

This is a question which has become significant in the last few weeks, and a lot of people would like to know the answer too. There has recently been an application for a licence made by Sainsbury's to Camden Council, which, if it is successful, will mean that they could open a store at 204 West End Lane, West Hampstead, in the place of closed down store "best-one".

To many who live in West Hampstead, the mini market "Best-One" which was open 24 hours was an iconic feature of quirky West Hampstead. It made up part of the character of West End Lane, as well as the other many independent shops. However although people may enjoy this ideal, the reality is that in recent years many more people have chosen to shop in a chain store, over shopping in a franchise independent store.

Some shop owners down West End Lane report that sales have gone down by as much as 50% since Tesco's opened, and are worried that if a Sainsbury's opens there then they may end up closing due to the competition from both stores. The decision has not yet been made, and we are looking forward to finding out what the store will become.

Willesden Green has their very own homework club!

Tue, 28 Sep 2010 11:08:01 +0100

We all know how important it is for children to learn at least the basic English and Maths skills at a young age, for their development, and to enable them to prosper in these areas in adult life. "Teachus Homework Club" in Willesden, aims to provide essential extra supplement for English and Maths for children who are being educated in Key stage 1, 2 and 3.

The teachers aim to focus on educating children at their own ability level, and to give them extra exam practice, ensuring students are tested every 8-10 weeks so that teachers are able to track their progress. The cost per hour for tuition is only £4, and this is paid at the beginning of each lesson. "Teachus Homework Club" takes place every Monday and Thursday throughout the year, in term time only, at The Willesden Green Library Centre, 95 High Road, Willesden.
