Come and join the queue...

Is this the best feature of Kilburn's future?

The Good Ship on Kilburn High Road as well as offering a great pint, some sound bands and a pretty good atmosphere - courtesy of John McCooke - a great guy and champion for Kilburn - has brough back a key feature to Kilburn... Queuing...

Not since the days where there were multiple cinema's on the High Road has there been such an outbreak of people wanting to get into a venue - I happen to think that queuing is a sign of vibrant activity and a desire to be part of something.

That for my mind sums up what a modern Kilburn should be like and where it might be heading today. Loads of cafe's, great bars and a superb attitude. All pretty safe and getting safer and all we need now are some good and better clothes shops... too much to ask?

Watch more of my pitch on this:

I should add that my constituency campaign office is in Drakes Courtyard, so the Good Ship is a great landmark and stop off point.

The Good Ship are also great Facebookers - the briefest search and you will find them...

A number of ideas for a good picture

Is this interesting, photographic or just curious?

It could be an entire project but as I mooched down the Kilburn High Road I was struck by the numbering of properties and the range of fonts and formats...

So here is the outcome of that mooch and that thought.

It's from the residential gate (275) before Brondesbury Medical practise up to Moran's the building merchants (293)...

And before someone cries fowl on the numbers, there is no 291 - it's the passage to Drakes Courtyard.

And the pictures immediately to the left on the residential gate I thought were different and as it was such a stunning day the reflection of 275 was really nice as a picture. Aaaaahhh :-)
