IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Noel Road, LONDON, W3 0JX

This photo was taken on a weekday just after school finished for the day, so there are parents and children enjoying the playground.

A.G.V.A. stands for the Acton Garden Village Association in funnily enough (AG) Alwyn Gardens, it's akin to a tenants association/social club/working men's club with no pub of any description or many shops for quite a distance, it's a wonderful little watering hole that's off the beaten track and the drinks are very reasonable too. You can play darts (they've 2 teams currently playing on a Wednesday), pool, or football - there's numerous small pitches there. If I lived a little nearer, I wouldn't mind going there myself. You can see the dartboard through one of the windows on the left.

The notice on the equipment says that the playing field is open but "All playgrounds, play and sports equipment and courts are closed." It adds that you should keep a safe distance from other people, keep your dog on a lead, and wash your hands on returning home.

A photo Image two weeks ago shows equipment at this gym in North Acton Playing Field with tapes and notices to prohibit use. A few park users ignored the restriction, broke the tapes, and used the equipment. So now it has been fenced off. On nearby basketball equipment the hoops have been unscrewed from the back board. The road beyond is Noel Road.

The Smart Car for Ink'D London has signs for tattooing, piercing, and tattoo numbing cream. It displays a qr code panel for scanning on a smart phone.

At this time of year the recreation ground has been marked out for cricket, but there is a large area left available for informal soccer or other games. This group had full teams and had set out a full sized football pitch on a Sunday afternoon.

This garden in Walton Way is notable for this huge clump of grass.

These modules based on shipping containers are being added to the site of Westfield Lodge, a 16 bedroom hostel with shared bathrooms and kitchens, built in the 1920s. A webpage https://www.osm.construction/work-showcase/westfield-lodge from OSM Construction tells us: "OSM on behalf of QED Sustainable Urban Developments will create a free-standing interim extension to the hostel adjacent to the original building using a demountable modular system. The extension will comprise 5 one-bedroom, 7 two-bedroom and 3 three-bedroom apartments that will accommodate up to 86 individuals." See Image for closer view.

These temporary homes intended to house people in Ealing who are homeless or in unsuitable accommodation are modular, based on shipping containers. See Image for a description of the project.
