Shooting in Kilburn

Police limit access: Brondesbury station to Gascony Ave/Willesden Road, Kilburn High Road.

Today in the early hours of this morning in Kilburn, North West London, one woman- Sabrina Moss was shot dead by Brondesbury Station. Her friend was also shot is still in hospital after they were out for the evening celebrating her 24th Birthday.
A man has recently been arrested.

The Guardian has talked of the rise in gang violence, but this hasn't been discussed by police at this time. Police have said these two ladies were possibly innocent victims in the "wrong place at the wrong time" when two men approached them on the High Road from Messina Avenue, which is also closed to traffic and pedestrians.

Shocking and very unusual Kilburn is ordinarily a great multi-cultural melting pot. Although a temper or two can flare on the slow moving people on the crowded high road, but I think most who know Kilburn would agree it is very shocking that there has been a shooting, and that someone has been killed.

Concerned neighbours talk at the edge of Kilburn High Road

Zadie Smith the Author says of Kilburn; “The bus stop outside Kilburn’s Poundland is the site of many of the more engaging conversations to be heard in the city of London.”

And Bradley Wiggins winner of the Tour De France 2012 and Olympic medalist say's of hs achievements '"Kids from Kilburn aren't supposed to win the Tour and they're not supposed to become knights, either. Know what I mean?"

While local residents of Kilburn try to make sense of what's happened on their local High Street, Our thoughts are with Sabina Moss's family at this time, and her friend's recovery.

Friendly Police at the bottom of Messina Avenue, only residents have access to the road.

Dumpling London!

It’s no secret that we, at Everything London, love some dumplings! Din Tai Fung, Covent Garden When Art Sagiryan 'Ping Pong' arrived in London, founded in 2005, it was the most accessible all-day dumpling place my friends and I would love to visit. Now with branches all over London, you no longer have to suffer those awful queues to eat. Make room for Din Tai Fung! We visited the one in Covent Garden, where that infamous long line has returned, but fear not, unlike a lot of other places they take reservations in advance, if you're just walking up by chance, they'll take your phone number to call you when your table's ready, or for us, they let us order boba tea and sit by the bar. The site is where the very huge 'Henry's' bar used to stand, and before that a Mexican restaurant, its refurb though wipes out all memory of those old haunts. You are greeted by their very open kitchen with staff huddled making the dim sum, and sha

Cat café offering feline cuddles and coffee.

"Rub ma belly" Autumn. The leaves are falling. Its grey and raining. We're a long time past March's lockdown and yet coronavirus is still here and we still need to keep our distance. But we have a silver lining! A pick me up proven uplift opens on the 31st October, in the shape of nine cats roaming, ready for petting and belly rubs at the new Java Whiskers cat café at 105, Great Portland Street, in London! You book your time slot, 1-2 hours per person over 10 years of age, arrive 15 minutes early and kick off your shoes! Order some sandwiches, salads and pastries, with vegan options and gluten-free option and then enjoy the kitties as they come a paw-ing. There are rules though to protect the cats, while there are toys to lure in a feline friend, you aren't allowed to force them, pick them up or 'force hold' them, and the cats are free to retreat to downstairs if they decide they're done with human company for a while, so these cat kings and queens
