"Haydock Green resident and London eccentric, Stanley Green spent 25 years carrying a placard along Oxford Street proclaiming "Less Lust, By Less Protein" until his passing in 1993. His placard can currently be seen in the Museum of London."
With its church and delightful mock-Tudor buildings, Pinner's High Street is a picturesque place for a stroll.
Sally Cresswell
There are some lovely places to eat along Pinner's High Street and some charming gift shops too.
