Meet a mix of people in Harlesden
Harlesden in north-west London is widely regarded as the city's reggae capital thanks to the high number of people of Afro-Caribbean heritage living in the area. A high number of residents also hail from Ireland, Latin America and East Africa, giving Harlesden a rich and vibrant multi-cultural scene. It's certainly a far cry from the district's original rural setting. It's also a short trip into central London via London Overground and the underground's Bakerloo line services.
Get your motors running at The Ace Cafe
Motorcycling fans, or those enthusiastic about popular culture in from the 1940s to the 1960s should check out The Ace Cafe, which is a short drive away in Stonebridge. Many early bikers gangs used the venue as a meeting place due to the fact it was open 24 hours a day, listening to rock 'n' roll music while waiting for their friends to arrive. Now fully refurbished, it is used for a wide variety of functions.
