Back to the joys of West End - and more specifically the Green at West End on the junction of West End Lane, Fortune Green Road and Mill Lane. It's one of the best spaces and increasingly complemented by coffee bars and outdoor seating to appreciate - all we need now is pedestrianisation (a pipe dream in this instance!).
The plaque reads:
Borough of Hampstead
This tree was planted by the Mayor
Mr Alderman G E Pritchard
20th December 1902
In commemoration of the Coronation of
His Majesty King Edward VII
On this patch of space it's also got the fountain, thousands of pidgeons and is overlooked by the slightly stately Alexandra Mansions.So whose up for a refurb effort - it's in the sightline of the Friends of Fortune Green who are pushing forward on cleaning up and taking active ownership of their space...
Community activism - for me it's the best way forward and the only way of achieving long standing change and enhancement in a local area... there's one to ponder.
