Perivale - Leafy Morocco

Not far down the canal we embark on Perivale, our next destination on the central line. It's not long before we realise we have reached the wholesome paradise we have been dreaming of. A picture postcard of Autumnal loveliness, weeping willows, smoking chimneys, lush shades of evergreen and a view of Horsendon hill on one side. We moor up and go for a wander, half expecting similarly juxtaposed urban landscape as Greenford however we are pleasantly surprised by the surrounding area. The road to the station is bike friendly and has a homely peaceful suburban vibe to it with a large Tesco and a park 10 mins away.  Further along we come across an amazing cluster of Morroccan Shisha cafes and restaurants, bustling with hardcore Moroccan domino players and glowing majestically with lanterns and open coal fires. We could happily stay here for a while.And we do. There is a closure for 5 weeks further up the canal so we stay put for 6 weeks in total and get quite attached to the place.
