Wembley Stadium Arch 2015
Lit at night, usually in white all year. Was decorated with the red white and blue of the French flag in honour of the French after the Paris bombing and in honour of visiting teams.
1 The arch can be see in Wembley; also from stations and in transit on the Metropolitan railway line, overground section, between Harrow and Baker Street.
2 Also when walking along the road on the pavement on the Morrisons side over the bridge over Hatch End station.
3 Also from Stanmore, driving towards Grimsdyke hotel or parking at the public car park opposite Grimsdyke Hotel, next to the pub.
4 Probably from many other places with views over London, such as hilltops in public parks, or high buildings such as malls, offices or blocks of flats overlooking London. Let me know of any places or public viewpoints you recommend.

If you have any photos of shops or shopping malls or high streets anywhere in the world which you wish to share, please send them to me.

Reminder - Xmas tree lighting in Hatch End today mid afternoon

Xmas tree light-up in Hatch End today Dec 4th.

Xmas trees or lights on lamp posts are already shining in Stanmore and North Harrow to brighten the last few hours of the afternoon now it's getting dark early.

While in London - try the Indian sweetmeats, for example Shayona

We stopped for some tea-time take away. You can see the green of the pistachio and the brown of the dates in this sweetmeat from Shayona in North Harrow on the Pinner Road leading from the Pinner area to Harrow on the Hill.

This sweetmeat above comes from their double front Pinner Road branch which has savouries on one side of the shop and the sweets on the other. Their food is vegetarian and the menu online for catering to events includes drinks such as sweet and sour lassi (yogurt mixed with milk - hm - is that vegan I wonder, I suppose it does not involve killing unlike meat) foods such as mock duck and eggless cakes. The other branch is further along the road on the opposite side (left driving north from North Harrow to Harrow on the hill) on the corner.
