The Tweets of the Week in the London Borough of Barnet - 26/4/2020

You may wonder whether there would be in any interesting tweets in a week when the Borough is in lockdown? Well have no fear, there has been some very interesting stuff out there. As with previous weeks, we are giving covid tweets a wide berth

1. If you like this sort of tweet, and you haven't followed this amazing account, then you really should.

Thank you @LFBBarnet for stopping what could have been an absolute tragedy on Thursday night in Burnt Oak. I hope this area is finally secured asap. pic.twitter.com/BVTMOxB6CL

7. This is a nice tweet, I love these little architectural details

Nice evening walk to local @coopuk on Cricklewood Broadway-hadn’t really appreciated before the Art Deco ( I think!) bits of architecture/design in the area #NW2 #dailyexercise #staylocal pic.twitter.com/ibidEbKaEn

8. A great picture of a Golders Green Icon

Great Gigs. Golders Green Hippodrome.

Built in 1913 as a musical hall, it was bought by the BBC to use to record live gigs. A lot of the Sight & Sound gigs were here.

It held 3000. Since the BBC flogged it 15 years ago its gone through the hands of a couple of religions. pic.twitter.com/dIDKdeY7Mp

10. For all of you who like a bit of music, some music connections with Mill Hill

Nothing makes us happier than the thought that some of the music made in our studios is keeping the world sane! pic.twitter.com/LRzhiCe8C1
