Power cable joint bay
Once these roadworks in Northfields Road North Acton are complete there won't be any sign of the underground power cable. One of the joints in the Wimbledon to Willesden power line is under the dark patch in the road with a lighter area inset. Signs on the road works say it is Balfour Beatty Power Networks working on behalf of the National Grid on a joint bay refurbishment project. The work seems to have been complete for over a week but signs say "Materials curing - please be patient".
[Edit in May 2020] The cables have been removed, see Image

London high voltage cables decommissioned, North Acton
The Willesden to Wimbledon high voltage oil-insulated cables ran under here. Maintenance work on the joint bay in 2007 is shown in photo Image The cables have been replaced by ones in deeper tunnels; the one from Willesden to Wimbledon runs via Kensal Green and does not go under here. The darker patches of tarmac now are where there were cabinets on the pavement, and recently a deep pit in the roadway through which the oil was extracted.

Joggers keep separate during coronavirus precautions
Walkers and joggers in the playing field were making sure to keep well apart, stepping off the path when passing to keep 6 feet apart. The houses are in Northfields Road. The grass in the foreground is marked out for football.

TNT postman and post bike
TNT Post UK are now collecting, sorting and delivering their customers' mail directly to West London addresses - I knew this because Royal Mail's Regional Operations Director for London sent a mailshot to West London homes complaining about TNT "cherry-picking" profitable areas. TNT postmen with bicycles have now become a regular sight around our streets. (This postman was happy to be photographed).
[edit March 2017] TNT later gave up direct delivery to residential areas, so all mail is delivered to houses by Royal Mail.
