Ramadan started earlier this month on Sunday 5 May and continues to Tuesday 4 June. Ramadan Mubarak to all those across NW London marking this holy period.

The longer daylight hours at this time of year can make fasting a challenge, particularly for people with medical conditions like diabetes. People with any concerns are asked to speak to their GP for advice.
