Welcome to the community website of Alexandra Park neighbourhood in London. Our aim is to encourage interaction, both online and in person, between local people in Alexandra Park and surrounding neighbourhoods, as well as providing a channel for local information. Use it to discuss local issues, find out about local events and post your own events, create a group, recycle items …

We would like discussions to be constructive and wide-ranging enough for all members to feel comfortable using the site, providing a space for everybody who would like to take part. So if something is not being talked about which you think should be, start a new discussion!  For more information, see About the Site.

Missing black and white cat

This is our cat, Sunflower, who has gone missing. We live in Alexandra Park Road, but he's a frequent visitor to Victoria Road and Harcourt Road, and we think he's gone further afield now. If anyone has seen him, please contact us on 020 8881 5651 / 07777 602303. He doesn't wear a collar but is microchipped. Thank you - we miss him very much.
