"In March 1918, self-proclaimed World's Greatest Magician Chung Ling Soo (or Bill Robinson as his parents knew him!) performed his world famous "catch a bullet with his teeth" trick at the Wood Green Empire. Sadly, it didn't work and it him square in the chest."
It's really easy to get into central London on the Piccadilly line from Wood Green Station.

What locals say about N22
“The cuisine in Wood Green is the best in North London. As a Greek/Cypriot living in London, I have found some of the best Greek shops and restaurants in this area. My absolute favourite places are Vrisaki in Myddleton Road and Paneri on High Road. ”
Kostas
“Leafy and peaceful, with the magnificent palace and park at its heart, but just minutes from the shopping options of Muswell Hill and Wood Green, or the plentiful bars and cafes of Crouch End. Enjoy ice skating in the palace, a cake at the Grove Café, or just take in the best view in London from the atmospheric vantage point of the world's first television broadcast.”
Gavan
“I love vibrant Green Lanes, with an array of Turkish restaurants, variety of shops and the amount of small parks in the area.”
Jon
“Open spaces, great transport links. Gigs and Farmers Markets on your doorstep!”
Joanne
“It's right next to Alexandra Palace, convenient for shopping and transport, and still relatively affordable to buy a decent place to live.”
Paul
“I love being surrounded by green spaces and large gardens. I love to be around malls where I can find everything I need. Wood Green is a multicultural neighbourhood, there are several shops from around the world and a wide variety of products. Public transport works very well. The health center is very good. It is a safe neighborhood for walking both day and night. Fruits and vegetables are fresh and quality. The people are very nice in this neighborhood. I am very happy to live in this part of the town.”
Ana
“Wood Green provides shoppers with a choice of supermarkets including Sainsbury's, Tesco, Morrisons and not to mention M&S Food. There are great clothes shops, hairdressers and Wilkinsons for just about every household product you could ever want. You can commute to Covent Garden in 20 mins. At the same time you can walk up to Ally Pally to see the deer and feel like you are in the countryside. Keep it a secret so prices don't rocket!”

Tomorrow's Warriors Presents... Klara Devlin Quartet
Those in the know are already excited about the rise of trumpeter Klara Devlin on the Birtish jazz scene. A finalist in the BBC Young Jazz Musician of the Year 2024, Klara's material draws inspiration mainly from the Bebop and Hard Bop eras, mixed with a soupcon of Funk and improv, while her influences span Freddie Hubbard, Lee Morgan, Ella Fitzgerald, Herbie Hancock, Roy Hargrove, Chick Corea, and Wayne Shorter. Klara Devlin, remember her name, she is in my opinion one of the most amazing and unique new trumpet voices to emerge onto the UK jazz scene. To coin the famous quote if ya ain't got it in ya, ya can't blow it out. Klara Devlin definitely has it, and definitely blows it out of her horn! Im about 2-3 jazz generations in front of her and Ive never been this excited about a young musician in a while, definitely a stylist wholl be making new waves for the next generation.Tony Kofi, saxophonist For over 30 years, Tomorrows Warriors has played a vital role within its community and the wider music industry andhas beencreditedwithliterally changingthe face ofUKjazz.
