Enfield Hairdressers; Building a Merry Christmas for Haven House Hospice

I was really pleased to be able to drop into James Whittaker Hairdressers on the Lancaster Road in Enfield yesterday where James and his merry team are collecting Christmas Presents for the Haven House Children's Hospice in Ilford.      Haven House is "a special place for special children" providing essential support for children and young people between the ages of 0 to 19 who have life-limiting conditions and who are unlikely to reach adulthood.   All of this is done at no cost to the families of those needing support, and you can be sure that they'll really appreciate the donations that James's generous customers have donated.

It's still not too late - James can accept donations for the hospice if you drop down to see him over the next few days.

James can be found at 82 Lancaster Road, Enfield, EN2 0BX and is open Monday to Saturday.

Or you can contact James on Twitter, or follow him on Facebook.

Don't forget - if you have a local "good news" story, or want to bring attention to anyone local or any local business doing something extra-ordinary, then we'd love to cover them on the "We Love Enfield Photo Blog".   Drop us a message in the comments section below and we'll do the rest.


The Blog can only succeed with your help.  We think Enfield is a fantastic place to live & work.  If you agree then please send us a story.

A Flash Mob hits Enfield Town Centre

Saturday 10th December, and history was created as Enfield hosted it's first "Flash Mob".

On the pavement outside Nandos, the guys and girls from the North London Dance Studio (with help from the Enfield Business & Retailers Foundation, Loving Social Media, Love Your High Street and Signature Sounds) entertained a large crowd (both human and animal!) with an uplifting dance routine.

Here are a few of my favourite shots from the day (click on the images to see them full size):

What is the "We Love Enfield" blog?

This blog is a celebration of some of the things that make Londons most northerly borough a great place to live, work and visit. It centres on high quality photography, showcasing some of the interesting people and events that are always present in our borough.

Many years ago, these kinds of stories would have been covered by local papers, but with circulations declining and budgets shrinking there is perhaps less opportunity to get these kinds of stories published than there was previously.

If you have a reason to celebrate life in Enfield then we'd love to hear from you!

To get things started - if you thought it was cold recently...

Those were a few images from early 2010. Enjoy today's sunshine!
