May pole dancers at Silk Road Festival
Thousands of people attended a festival to celebrate all that Cricklewood has to offer.
The Silk Road Festival was hosted by volunteers behind the Cricklewood Improvement Programme (CIP) on Saturday, September 15.
Up to 3,000 people turned out the event where there was a variety of activities including live music, male pole dancing, face painting and a market selling food as well as arts and crafts.
CIP was set up in 2010 and has been working with Barnet, Brent and Camden Councils as well as local businesses, residents and police to co-ordinate their efforts to improve Cricklewood.
The festival aimed to bring people together from all three sides of the town centre to celebrate Cricklewood and increase its footfall.
