Vigil for Shooting Victims in Kilburn

On Saturday, a week after the Kilburn Shooting shooting a vigil was held for the murder victim Sabrina Moss, lots of people turned out to pay their respects on the corner of Kilburn High Road, where Sabrina and her friend Sabrina Gachette both 24 were shot after a night out in Kilburn for Moss's birthday.

It was a very sad occasion, respectfully marked, Sabrina's sister delivered a short statement to the journalists, through painful tears, evoking emotions in everyone around.
Many neighbours and people who lived nearby who didn't know either of the girls yet moved by the tragedy attended to show the bereaved family support and show that they cared.

The word amongst the neighbours and people of the area - most standing across the street watching, respecting the friends and family to be closest to mark the spot- was that Sabrina didn't even want to celebrate her birthday.
But more shocking was that someone said there had been a third person shot, that the police haven't mentioned or in many of the news reports.

TUESDAY 3rd SEPT Evening Standard Print

Then it transpired in a small print article in Tuesdays Evening Standard, that the man charged with murdering Sabrina Moss is Martell Rico Warren, 22, of Kensal Green. He is also charged with attempted murder of her friend Sabrina Gachette and two men, Mahad Ahmed and Edson Da Silva, and of course with possession of a firearm.
Perhaps these were the other victims on the scene local people saw, and the intended targets the news reporters didn't mention, possibly shot on the same night.

Whatever the police aren't disclosing it's a very sad situation. Many thoughts and prayers from those that don't even know them including local neighbours and all at this blog go out to the grieving and the recovering families and friends.

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

"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
