“I love the hip and youthful vibe that's creeping into the area - The Shop is great for quirky cocktails, and The Whippet Inn has a great range of lagers and ales. It's really easy to get into central London and has some great independent stores.”
Milly
“Friendly neighbours. Entrepeneurial, creative, cosmopolitan community. Local independent shops but close to Kensington, Brent Cross and Westfield. Attractive Victorian and Edwardian houses with good sized gardens and lots of trees so quiet with good parks and open space. Good public transport links into Central London and overland rail to Euston, East London, South and West London. Close to North Circular and A40 so out into the countryside in under an hour. ”

The council now has £4 million, which are being spent on upgrading the public realm on Station Road and the centre of Harlesden,following consultation and work with local residents. And there are more and more local activities, and fun stuff going on. All good. ”

It's staffed by local volunteers, sells great wine, and has one of the most eclectic programmes of any cinema in London! In the summer, they also do outdoor cinema in the local parks...”

Indie Showcase @ The Royal Oak Harlesden
Indie Showcase @ The Royal Oak Harlesden Hello London! Join us on Friday, 16th of May, for an independent musician showcase at The Royal Oak in Harlesden. We have five fabulous acts for your listening pleasure. Doors 6 pm Standard admission: 5 Optional MVT levy of 1, including a digital download of my latest single as a thank you Thanks in advance for your support of live music. Charlie Smith My name might be common, but my style is alternative. I'm Charlie Smith a raw, honest, singer-songwriter from Hampshire, UK. I host and perform at my own shows at venues such as the Railway Inn, The Attic, and Crosfield Hall. In October 2023, I embarked on my first solo tour of northern England, performing in Leicester, Leeds, Liverpool, and Stockton. My most recent 'DIY Tour 24' was built around showcasing local musicians and took me along the south of England (Brighton, Portsmouth, London, and Southampton). The 3-track single 'God Doesn't Hate You' Recorded on a Zoom R8 is my first release of 2025 marking an adventure back into lo-fi recording. Using nothing but a portable recorder, its microphones & effects, proved a welcome challenge. What the three tracks lack in polish they make up with creativity. It proves that even with limited studio equipment you can make music. Eleanor Collides Eleanor Collides is the solo project of London based singer-songwriter Nick Ranga. Falling somewhere between goth, shoegaze and folk, Nick combines these colours into a unique blend of dreamy indie rock. Eleanor Collides draws on a disparate range of influences, including Hozier, The Cure, Low, REM, and Depeche Mode.Named after Nick's childhood imaginary friend, Eleanor Collides started life as a lockdown project in 2021. Nick has since gathered a small but dedicated following and his music continues to receive critical acclaim. His songs have been played on BBC radio, and breakthrough hit 'Lifeboats' spent over a year on Spotify's 'Spooky' editorial playlist.The 2022 debut album 'People Are Taller In Real Life' was followed up by the album 'Exit Strategies' in 2024. The third full-length Eleanor Collides release - a live album - will follow in 2025. Cat Elliott With unique voice & raw authenticity, this indie / Contemporary Folk artist takes you on musical adventures full of soaring melodies, catchy hooks & lyrical wizardry.

From lighthearted ironical rants, to the introspective or bittersweetly romantic, you never really know what's coming next. Whatever the mood though, her catchy and lyrical songs tell stories in a way you're likely to remember Still Traffico Mancunian school friends Cam McColl (lead vocals/guitar), Dan Carabine (lead guitar), and Connor Lilley (drums), along with London resident, Dan Arthur (bass) formed Still Traffico (formerly known as Peach) in London in 2023.Influenced by everything from Chanson Franaise storytelling to Michael Head to African desert blues to contemporary house to post-rock, post-punk and more, Still Traffico make a fine blend of indie pop. They call it Railway Pop, referring to it as a sound that clanks and shuntsbut soothes. At the close of 2024, Still Traffico played a headline show at Paper Dress Vintage and opened 24:1900 virtual music festival. You can find a review of their headline set at Paper Dress Vintage below. Still Traffico released their fourth single, Whos a fraud?' on 10 January 2025. Further singles are scheduled for release through 2025, in what promises to be an exciting year for the band.

Mario Bakuna Trio - Bossa Nova Night - Live at Riverside Studios
Following his first album Where Rio de Janeiro Meets Bahia, Marios most recent release is 'Brazilian Landscapes' which features new arrangements of material by great composers such as Marcos Valle, Claudio Bertrami, Rique Pantoja, Gilberto Gil, Djavan, João Bosco, Arismar do Espirito Santo, and the 'forrozeiros' Dominguinhos and Luiz Gonzaga. The album is a tribute to the culture and memory of Brazilian people and it's the result of years of inspiration Mario Bakuna drew upon while travelling through Brazil, experiencing its rhythmic and harmonic richness. From the arid landscape of the northeast, which is reflected in the chorus of songs of Forró, Baião and Xaxado, to the African influence found in Ijexá, the popularity of Samba and the sophistication of Bossa Nova, Mario Bakuna and his musicians celebrate the most musically rich territory on Earth. Mario Bakuna is a Brazilian composer, singer and guitar player currently based in London, UK. Over the past few years, he has emerged as a leading figure and a reference in England's Brazilian Jazz Music scene. Bakuna has extensively performed in Europe and beyond, playing at distinguished venues and festivals across 18 European countries, Canada, Brazil, Madagascar, Egypt, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan, with sold-out concerts and great acclaim.
