The Chingford Directory

Welcome....

to The Chingford Directory, your local community magazine and business directory.

After the cold and icy weather we have endured, this month is the start of spring with longer, warmer days ahead and daffodils and other spring flowers starting to bloom.

Dates for your diary to note are:
Saturday 13th - Sunday 14th March. Six Nations Championship. International rugby competition with England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, France and Italy.
Sunday 14th March. St Patrick's Day Festival, London
A celebration of Irish culture in London for St Patrick's Day (17 March) with a parade, festival of music and cultural performances. See: www.london.gov.uk/stpatricksday.
Sunday 14th March. Mother's Day. A day for people to think about and appreciate our mothers and a time for treats like flowers, chocolates or a special day out.
Saturday 27th/Sunday 28th March - British Summer Time (BST) starts. All clocks go forward 1 hour. The time change is during the night: at 1am on Sunday morning the time changes to 2am. Mornings become darker and afternoons and evenings lighter.
