The Kohima Memorial Tribute, Eastcote

At the top of Eastcote High Street is a war memorial for soldiers who served in both World Wars. The little plot of gardens and the memorial are tucked away behind hedges and contain benches and areas to reflect. I was impressed with the gardens at this lovely little site in early April. They were filled with bright and colourful spring flowers, providing a much needed sight of beauty in the difficult times we have recently had. Reds, blues, pinks, yellows, and whites create a wonderful kaleidoscope of colour.

Walking further along north to the end of the road, there is also another wonderful little attraction here at the top where there is another little plot of land between the road into the housing area at St. Lawrence's Drive. The postbox topper craze has been a hit in this part of London, and I recently covered it (Ruislip and Eastcote Postbox Art). The new one was added in early April and features "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" from the book. The garden plot here looks attractive too with its daffodils and spring flowers. It's certainly a pretty part of London.
