The spruced-up Jubilee Clock has returned to its home in Harlesden town centre.
It had been removed from its spot as part of the £4.5 million regeneration project to improve the town centre being funded by Brent Council, Transport for London (TfL) and The Harlesden Town Team.
It returned on Valentine’s Day, where crowds gathered at the new semi-pedestrianised section of the high street to show their love to the landmark and enjoy street entertainment, brass and steel bands and a parade.
The event was organised by The Harlesden Town Team. Council leader Muhammed Butt said: “The Jubilee Clock looks fantastic now that it has been refurbished in its original colours.
“Its return represents a significant milestone in the final phase of the regeneration of Harlesden which has been undertaken to create a more attractive town centre and better shopping experience for visitors.”
David Rowe, Head of Borough Projects and Programmes at TfL, said: “It's great to see that our £3.8m funding has helped transform Harlesden town centre and restore the treasured Jubilee Clock.
“Wider footways, improved crossings and better facilities for cyclists and bus users will make the centre more inviting, safe and environmentally friendly, which will boost the local economy.”
And Leroy Simpson, Chairman of the Harlesden Town Team said: “The event was a great success and it really brought everyone together. We love Harlesden and it's only going to get better following the improvements.”
