Streets Of London 002 | Pinner Bridge Street & High Street walk
Around 25 minutes from Baker Street on the Metropolitan train line lies Pinner, an historic village within the North West London suburbs which dates from c.900AD. In more recent times it was the pre-stardom stomping ground of Reginald Kenneth Dwight, aka Elton John. Ditto Simon LeBon, lead singer of DuranDuran. Both attended schools in Pinner. Enjoy the Sunday morning stroll from Pinner's quaint old Police station at the top of Bridge Street down to the olde worlde High Street and onwards beneath the bridge at Pinner train station (Zone 5).

The very first Streets Of London excursion takes you to the outskirts of the Capital, to Watford High Street, situated in Zone 8 of the London Overground line; a 45-minute train ride from London Euston station. Savour the sights of Watford's largely pedestrianised town centre on what was the last morning of 2019!

    I went to school in Edgware and kept being asked what London borough do you live in, so the school, could claim from them. I couldn’t get them to understand Watford is not in London.

    Lived in Pinner for 40 years before moving to Suffolk in 2003 -- this brings back a few memories. Even though the shops have changed the older buildings are still mostly the same. The High Street is still as picturesque as ever.

    40 years lived, was once very nice. Not so much now as you can. Glad I got out to the countryside with beaches. Will look even more glum once those high rises pop up around town.

      they’re popping up like mushrooms after rain , even the bus garage in Garston has been levelled for housing , the dregs of the sink estates of north London have been shipped in and crime’s going through the roof , the locals are referring to it now as Croydon-On-The-Colne

    I lived in Watford 9 months last year ( 2019 ) and although they were hard 9 months separated from my family, I fell in love with this city and I miss it more then my hometown. It's a beautiful place to live in.
