Hi neighbours. Does anyone have experience of The Dentist at the top of Bedford Hill in Balham? I'm looking for a dentist for my children, and have walked past this one many time and wondered what it is like. Or any other recommendations? Many thanks.

Having used Streetlife for years for all kinds of things I was anxious about what would fill the gaping hole when it 'moved on'. I didn't fancy the over sharing or personal info with Next Door so am very pleased that Scooploop has come along. Hope to start recognising members soon!

Do you need a babysitter?
Don't hesitate to contact me!
Evenings and weekends.
Thanks
Ana

Hi I am looking for some who knows where there is a place which teaches braille. Can anyone help me. I have been looking (HaHa) for some time now and have not found anyone who can help a 62 year old man.

There's a new, free app for checking and topping up your oyster card on the go. An obvious (and patiently awaited) move from TFL, however it only works with new oyster cards - I think this is a bit cheeky, they are £5 each!

Thought this might be of interest to anyone with an electronic car key, taken from the Inside Edgware Facebook page. There are tips to prevent this kind of crime at the bottom:

Good afternoon Folks.....A message from our Detective Chief Superintendent Borough Commander Simon Rose.....

Emerging trend of keyless car theft....

Over the last 4 days we have seen the emergence of a crime pattern in Barnet that has intermittently appeared elsewhere in London over recent years. This is keyless car theft by jamming the locking signal, then copying the key and alarm then stealing the car overnight.

What appears to be happening is a potential victim pulls into a car park and parks up. Either they are followed very closely by the thieves car who stop right next to them, or the potential victim parks in a space adjacent to the thieves car.

The potential victim gets out of their car and uses their zapper to lock the car. Before the zapper is activated the potential thieve activates the jammer. They need to be very close. The kit fits in the foot well of the thieves car and looks like a box of electronics with a few small aerials. The victim’s car light flash but the car does not lock. The victim does not realise the car did not lock as they do not check the door afterwards, but then why would you if you know your zapper works normally. The victim then walks off to the shops.

A few moments later the thieves go to the unlocked victim’s open. They open the door and inset their key copying equipment into the ignition barrel. They copy the key and alarm and attach a GPS tracker to the underside of the car. They then walk away. They don’t steal the car then as they want more time to move it without risk

Later that night, the thieves activate the tracker and come and find where the car is parked up. They use the key they have “made” to unlock the car and drive it away. By the time the victim realises what has happened the car is already on a container leaving the country or parked up on an anonymous industrial estate near a port awaiting to find out if there is a tracker fitted to it and if the police will come looking for it.

This type of offence can be hard to spot but it can be prevented. We are running several lines of enquiry to try and identify the team responsible for this including plain clothes patrols in car parks, advising the security teams at shopping centres and other more discrete and sensitive things.

* You can prevent it happening to you, if you have this type of locking mechanism, by checking that your car is actually locked after you have zapped it and walked away and looking out for people tailgating you into a car park at the shopping centres.
* You can help prevent this happening to others by sharing this information.
* You can help us catch this team by reporting the registration marks of any car acting suspiciously in a car park or tailgating you into a carpark.

Please help prevent this growing and see if we can get some intelligence to help catch these people? It’s across the whole Borough not just Edgware but I really want to try and nip this in the bud.

Hi, has anyone used an organic fruit and veg delivery service that delivers to the area, that they can recommend?

I just read online that they've upped the security at Brent Cross Shopping Centre in response to the attack in Manchester and are now checking all bags upon entrance. Be aware that there are queues to get into the centre and some car parks are closed, causing some traffic in the surrounding area. Sad that it's had to come to this, but I do think it's for the best.

Hi all. Trying to get organised and secure a nursery place for my little one early. Can anyone recommend any good ones in the area? I can travel to most places in SW as I won't be working. Any first hand recommendations would be really great!

Hi everyone! The Little Giants Volleyball team have organised a community event on Monday 1st (the coming Bank Holiday Monday) on Clapham Common. It will be taking place between 1pm and 7pm and it's open to all, big or small! Hope to see some of you there!

Don't forget the big Easter egg hunt is happening at The Secret Garden on Landor Road this Saturday. Great fun for the kids! Looking forward to seeing lots of you there!

Anyone knows good chinese restaurant in west kilburn, harrow road area?
