N16Life_SUMMER2017

from the
EDITOR
Welcome to the summer issue of N16 Life.
In this edition, you will read about the
West Reservoir, a water sports centre
close to Green Lanes, that had to be
saved from being turned into a housing
development in the 1980s. We spoke to
the North London Sailing Association
and The Castle Canoe Club, which have operated on the
reservoir for many years.
Another story is The New Unity church on Newington Green
– and how it differs from just about every other church. If you
don’t believe me, check out their slogan, “Believe in Good” – yep,
that extra “o” is in there on purpose. Carrie O’Grady explains
more in these pages.
We also have our traditional selection of food and drink to
sample from across N16’s unrivalled cuisine offering – just in
time for the summer.
Food writer and cook Yasemen Kaner-White shares lemony
recipes from her book, Lemon Compendium. And if you’re set
on learning something new, why not check out our course guide?
As always, you'll find an extensive guide to what's on in your
area, and highlights of the cultural events in London that you
mustn't miss.
See you in September, and enjoy the summer!
