Contemporary artist Finn Stone moved to Palmers Green for its family-friendly vibe Where to live My family and I have lived in Palmers Green for coming on 15 years I think to myself that it would be nice to move to the countryside Holtwhites, on Aldermans Hill, is a great artisan bakery I’d go for a tuna salad sandwich and a chocolate brownie It hasn’t been touched since the Seventies — if you did a Vogue shoot in there It’s a great place if you want something traditional There are lots of new places popping up too The Little Green Dragon ale house on Green Lanes is a microbrewery which just won a Camra award There’s a place around the corner on Green Lanes called Yoga Rocks but a PureGym has also opened on Green Lanes There’s a big pond too — you see the odd swan in there I do a lot of my work in the evenings because it’s the quietest time Painting at night is great for feeling calm If you decided to make a salad — or whatever you wanted — you could get all your ingredients in there There’s also a little Sainsbury’s on Green Lanes You can pick up some really unusual stuff there and all the cafes nearby get more customers They are run by a not-for-profit company called Talkies but it’s quite a powerful thing — you can go up to about 40 mph You can get to Moorgate in under half an hour from Palmers Green rail station good families — it’s got a nice culture about it which is quite unusual too: we’re on a corner I’ve got a 16-foot graffitied rhino in the parking space outside my house The rhino seems to have become a sort of icon in the area There are lots of cars parked everywhere — but that’s an issue everywhere Finn’s exhibition Walker Primary School and Tottenhall Infant School Ashmole Academy and Winchmore School are three of the top-rated secondaries

Copyright © The British Guild of Beer Writers 2025 Developed by HGA Lovers of vintage 1980s American and Brit Funk and funk jazz will be in for a special treat on 22 June when the Saturday Love All-Dayer comes to Broomfield Park in Palmers Green patrons will be entertained by Brit Funk royalty The Saturday Love All-Dayer, staged in collaboration with the Friends of Broomfield Park, will also feature food stalls, a bar, vintage vinyl purveyors RetroSistaz Partly organised by veteran funk and jazz DJ and My Time (Green Lanes) café proprietor the event will take enthusiasts attending the event back in time to the superb groups and grooves of the 1970s to the mid-1980s The constellation of star DJs manning the decks on the day include Richie Tee (Diverse Radio) The artistically creative music scene of the early 80s proved to be a strong influence on young North Londoner Lewis: I loved spending hours in record shops getting the latest imported records Alongside leaders in Brit Funk such as Light of the World I also listened to a lot of the American bands which influenced us who could possibly forget the whole ‘Philly Sound’ – MFSB Dexter Wansel and McFadden & Whitehead.” North London venues were central to ‘spreading the good vibes’ of jazz He says clubs like the Royalty in Southgate “were the catalyst for us being able to engage with this music Greg Edwards and even Pete Tong were very active at the Royalty This gave birth to very entertaining All-Dayers and Soul Weekenders (Caiste) which we absolutely loved and made it possible to get together with liked-minded funksters.” Brian hopes the 22 June event will reach across several generations bringing along not only those who experienced the music four decades ago but giving younger music lovers the chance to take in and enjoy the sounds of funk-jazz Comment * document.getElementById("comment").setAttribute( "id" "a56f812b1dc8e954f0861c558e4fa0cc"
