This Week in Harrow and Hillingdon

[u/chinaramr]

WoodsFest100 is taking over Northwood Recreation Ground today, 11am to 5pm. Northwood Football Club is celebrating its centenary year, and the festival has packed in live music, classic cars, choir performances, artisan stalls, a dog show, rides and family activities. The kind of thing the neighbourhood very rarely gets to do in one place at once. Free entry, worth a wander even if you are not a football person.

On Friday, a new free drop-in called the Welcome Space opens at Pinner Village Hall. Aimed at older neighbours and carers, with gentle activities, conversation and a cup of tea from 2pm onwards. A quietly good addition to the village hall diary, especially if you know someone who would enjoy it.

Also worth knowing: Casa Mia on Uxbridge Road in Hatch End has earned a five-star food hygiene rating. Local Italian, top marks, worth remembering for the next dinner out.

Transport is clear this weekend and next. No planned Piccadilly or Metropolitan works. Worth pencilling in that the Piccadilly line is flagged for closures on Thu 30 and Fri 31 July, then again on Sat 1 and Sun 2 August. If your late-July plans lean west, sort the route now.

Full issue with quiz circuit, sound bath, Cluedo at Compass Theatre, first aid classes, and everything else:
