Golders Green 70s/80s

A Memory of Golders Green.

I was born in Temple Fortune in 1972 and moved to Golders Green in 1973. I remember shopping in Woolworths which was next door to the library, it was a huge branch and sold plants and seeds at the back. There was a pet shop at the end of the alley way near Woolworths where my sister and I used to buy pet tortoises! Then there was MacFisheries a bit further along.

I loved the smell coming from the coffee shop on Golders Green Road near the junction of Hoop Lane. And the ladies wear shop Franks, it had a huge window display you could walk round, it even had a mirror! Dayvilles Ice Cream shop (Tiger Stripe was the best flavour!), Our Price records and McDonalds arrived in the early 80s. Ballet classes in Hodford Road church hall. Happy days!

Thank you for sharing your memories. I realized as I read them that they are mine too. The mirror at Franks!! Do you remember the name of the coffee shop?

My best,
Ruth
