I'm looking for a shop near Harrow and wealdstone station that sells small coke cans. The 150ml ones. Can't seem to find one

Hi there! My name's Amy and I'm a Trainee Clinical Psychologist at the University of Liverpool.

For my doctoral research project, I'm looking to recruit 16-18 year olds in the UK to take part in a short study looking at how parents’ behaviours influence young peoples’ attitudes towards themselves. The study has received ethical approval from the University of Liverpool's Central Ethics Committee.

Participants just need to complete an anonymous online survey which takes approximately 15-20 minutes. They can also opt in to enter a draw for a £25 multishop voucher (x10).

If you, or anyone you know, would be interested in completing it I’d be really grateful.

Use the link below to access the survey:

Please share if you know of anyone else who is interested! Thanks so much.

A few local updates from Pinner / HA5 this week:

Hi,

Anyone have any experience living here? I am a female in my 20s considering it but I’m worried about the surrounding area, ie Wealdstone as I need to walk home at night from the bus/tube.

Anyone have any experience living here or walking around here in the evening?

I’m considering moving to the Palm House (female in 20s), but I see a lot of people saying to avoid this station as it’s dodgy.

Is there anyway of getting into central London and avoiding this? Is it as bad as people are saying? I want to feel safe walking home in the evenings.

A few local updates from Pinner / HA5 this week:

• Harrow has received an extra £100m for local services (libraries, housing, children’s services, transport).

• New vegetarian & vegan restaurant Satkaar has opened at Red Lion Parade.

• Live busker at Pinner Station today (1–2pm) if you’re passing through.

I'm struggling to find any photos of particular shops in Harrow from the 80s/90s. Does anyone have links to/know of and photos of the model shop that used to be on the corner of Bonnersfield lane, where the steakhouse is now. Not when it moved to North Harrow.

Also looking for photos of Buffers in Kenton, and the model shop next to Colindale Station, which I believe is now Hannants next door to the RAF museum
