Pubs, restaurants and even Kenwood House are all looking forward to reopening indoors on Monday.
Some, like the Magdala in Hampstead, will be back for the first time in the best part of a decade, and though others like the much-loved Paradise Indian restaurant in South End Green have been open more recently, managers are looking forward to the return of a slice of normality.
Other pubs reopening include the Flask in Hampstead, and although places like the Gatehouse and the Prince of Wales in Highgate have had an outdoor offering, getting people back actually through the doors is very much a welcome step forward.

The Friends of Kenwood would like to send best wishes to all those who have supported Kenwood throughout this long and difficult year.
Who would have thought when Noel Gallagher was photographed in front of the Christmas tree by the great Adam Library in 2019 that Kenwood House would be closed for much of 2020?
In April, 85% of English Heritage staff were furloughed and Kenwood House and its estate were closed. Those staff who remained at Kenwood throughout did the normal work of dozens of people, working all hours to protect Kenwood and plan for its reopening, and they deserve the gratitude of us all for doing such an amazing and valuable job.
