Just seen schoolboy in Costa ordering latte and biscotti before school while his mum tried to hold the 139 bus for him. Only in @WHampstead!

"This is Finchley Road; change for the Metropolitan Line" Why can't the Metropolitan Line just accept me as I am?

Drinking coffee outside at Nero, while blowing my nose on a Costa serviette. I'm West Hampstead's most audacious gangster.

Girl wearing crash helmet, no bike in sight, strolling down west end lane. Whampstead has become more perilous than I thought.

Amusing NW6 moment; someone just ordered a "Tai chi latte". This is what happens when you put fancy coffees in a place like West Hampstead.

Onto the photos
Nicky’s photo of Camden’s parking enforcement car itself parked outside a marked bay, came from behind to win by an absolute canter, garnering more than 100 votes – more than a third of the total. It was a close-run thing between pre-race favourite, the Dylan’s pigeon, and the early frontrunner of the Tartan army.
Here are the top 10 photos:

I’ll be contacting Corinne and Nicky to arrange for them to collect their prizes, although it’s really the accolade that’s the true trophy!
Thanks to everyone who voted and to all of you for keeping Twitter a fun place to hang out. Let see who’ll be the first Tweet of the Week in this weekend’s newsletter.
