Our Purpose

The Cricklewood Herald represents a new era in publishing for the international metropolis that is Cricklewood. In establishing this bold venture, the editors are mindful to acknowledge the paths already blazed by the likes of the Willesden and Brent Times and the Willesden Herald. However, as we walk down our burgeoning Broadway, it is impossible not to stop and reflect that the time has come to move on from baby steps to something more befitting to the economic and cultural significance of the Cricklewood region.

We have therefore set out to establish something of truly Cricklewood proportions. The shackles of Willesden have been long outgrown and weigh us down. From this historic day, Cricklewood and Cricklewood alone shall stand on her own two feet. From this day, we will set out to publish the greatest, wisest and most heartfelt expressions of who the grand old lady of Cricklewood really is to us.

There may be times when you read articles here which may not actually appear to be about Cricklewood at all. When this happens, we encourage you to read again, think more deeply and open your minds. Cricklewood is a place where all cultures, all roads, all railways (not very many tubes) and, ultimately, all consciousness meets. So every time you visit, we hope you will prepare yourselves, even if you are not fortunate enough to live in Cricklewood, to take a little bit of Cricklewood away with you.

Enjoy.
