This is so heartwarming. I will be doing this in my building tomorrow. If you can, please try to do the same. Let's just try to do just one good deed. #COVID19

We just posted this around our street. So important - a friend did the same nearby today and an elderly lady phoned her immediately in tears saying she really needed a prescription collected, but all her friends were also elderly and she didn’t know what to do. She got help. 😁

Everyone is afraid of #covidー19uk but please think of your neighbours. Colindale thrives as a mixed community. If you can please find one flat with an old person/couple that you can commit to help, it will make a difference. We'll only get through this if we stick together. 🙏

.@AffinityWater problems in Colindale. Repairs underway but please check on neighbours especially the old and vulnerable.

[ColindaleReview @ColindaleReview]

Please to see progress. https://t.co/vQA5ERKhcg The development has major flaws but I think the housing is needed.

Recommendation of the week: Finally went to Cielo Prlr https://t.co/IAZRvua0iz Colindale new(ish) joint has all the class you think it might but with a genuinely unpretentious menu. But I'm a sucker for Turkish food 😅

It's easy to miss but here is the war memorial at Colindale Station.

To the civilians and @TfL staff killed on the night of the 25th of September 1940. RIP

[ColindaleReview @ColindaleReview]

78 years today Colindale Station was bombed in the Blitz. As small as Colindale was then even it couldn't escape the tragedies of WW2. H/t @MHHistSoc #Colindale #NeverForget #TfL
