Side roads around Parliament Hill Fields are busy and in general residents parking only, with fines for non-residents so to help you we list various routes and ways to get you to the venue.
Cars from the Midlands and North – Drivers are advised that they should park away from Parliament Hill (PH) and take public transport to PH. Below suggests parking near to Brent Cross, London Transport Station, either on the side roads at the Station or in the nearby Shopping Centre.
Directions: Approach London via the M1. Turn on to the A406, North Circular Rd going east. Follow this a short way and then bear left and follow signs A41 (Central London). Under the Brent Cross flyover proceed to A41, just before joining the A41 take the second turning left into Highfield Rd. Brent Cross Station on the Northern Line is on the left and street parking is allowed in the area. Take the train to Belsize Park and Parliament Hill is about 1 mile walk away. Allow time for this.

Unfortunately, our Senior Men finished in 12th place, which means they are now relegated to Division 2. Therefore, next season will be a challenge, but I am hopefull we will respond accordingly.

The Howard Williams Trophies are awarded to reward the strongest overall club in the League for (a) Senior’s (b) Juniors. Discounting “B” Teams, the winning club in each team competition is awarded the number of points commensurate with the number of member clubs, the second-place club in each age group is awarded the number of points commensurate with the number of member clubs less one. i.e. if there are 23 member clubs, the winner gets 23 points, runner up 22 points, down to one point for the 23rd placed club. The totals for each team competition are then added together for (a) Senior’s (Senior Men & Senior Women) (b) Juniors (Under 13 Boys, Under 13 Girls, Under 17 Men/Under 15 Boys and Under 17 Women/Under 15 Girls).

WHO, WHAT AND GUIDE GUIDE TO THE UK ATHLETICS INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS – The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently.
The two-day event on 26-27 February will determine Britain’s team for the upcoming World Indoor Championships in Belgrade but also provide a chance for athletes to fight for national titles and personal bests. Broadcast on the BBC website and red button, if you want to watch in person there are still tickets left which you can buy here. Here is our run-down of the events at the Utilita Arena Birmingham.

Men’s 60m (world qualifier: 6.63) – Championship Best Performance (CBP): JASON GARDENER (6.49) 2004 – Defending champion (2020): ANDY ROBERTSON (6.66) – Most wins: DWAIN CHAMBERS/ JASON GARDENER 5 – UK lead: CHARLIE DOBSON/ ANDY ROBERTSON (6.59)

Five athletes already have the standard for the World Indoor Championships while a further nine are within 0.05 of the time and could be a factor if they make what is bound to be a keenly contested battle to be Britain’s fastest man of the winter. Defending champion ROBERTSON (who also won in 2017 and has been runner-up three times) is the favourite in terms of experience but Charlie Dobson (who edged him in the Müller Indoor Grand Prix), JEREMIAH AZU and ADAM THOMAS are in PB form and have run similar times and will also be eyeing a Belgrade place.
World under-20 200m champion JONA EFOLOKO is another going in the right direction and has run (6.65) this winter.

Men’s 200m (world qualifier: n/a) – CBP: JULIAN GOLDING (20.46) 1998 – Defending champion (2020): ANDREW MORGAN-HARRISON (21.20) – Most wins: LINFORD CHRISTIE 6
UK lead: TOBY MAKOYAWO (20.73)

As the event is not being contested in the World Indoors the quality won’t compare with the 60m. Defending champion ANDREW MORGAN-HARRISON is not entered but his younger brother DAVID is and has an outside medal shot. The other medallists from 2020 – NICHOLAS PRYCE and BEN SMITH – return though Northern champion JOE FERGUSON may start as marginal favourite.

Men’s 400m (world qualifier:46.50) – CBP: SOLOMON WARISO (45.71) 1998 – Defending champion (2020): JAMES WILLIAMS (47.24) – Most wins: NIGEL LEVINE 6 – UK lead: EDWARD FAULDS (46.16)

The European under-20 champion EDWARD FAULDS broke the European indoor under-20 record at the Müller Indoor Grand Prix and his (46.16) was also a world qualifier and gives him a full second superiority on fellow Brits on 2021 times. Based on the rankings, BEN HIGGINS has the next best time with (47.16). CHRIS MCALISTER is only ranked 23rd but Britain’s fastest 400m hurdler of 2021 could show big improvement at the event.

Men’s 800m (world qualifier: 1:46.70) – CBP: TOM MCKEAN (1:46.49) 1990 – Defending champion (2020): GUY LEARMONTH (1:46.89) – Most wins: MARTIN STEELE 4 – UK lead: ELLIOT GILES (1:45.42)

British record-holder ELLIOT GILES dominates on times in 2022 too even if he is nearly two seconds down on his stunning 2021 run at Torun but he is also entered in the 1500m.
Remarkably GILES ran (1:45.42) at both his Birmingham second and winning in Torun a few days later. Defending champion GUY LEARMONTH and Commonwealth medallist KYLE LANGFORD also have the world qualifying mark this winter and Learmonth especially should be competitive based on his good run in Birmingham last weekend. TOM RANDOLPH has a modest (1:48.11) indoor PB but based on his European under-23 bronze medal and a (1:44.98) outdoor PB, he will run the leaders close. 1500m world finalists CHARLIE DA’VALL GRICE and NEIL GOURLEY are also entered and could be medal factors.

Men’s 1500m (world qualifier: 3:39.00) – CBP: EDDIE KING (3:40.24) 1999 – Defending champion (2020): GEORGE MILLS (3:50.69) – Most wins: JOHN WHETTON 6 – UK lead: NEIL GOURLEY (3:35.32)

Six athletes have the qualifier this winter and all bar Olympic 1500m medallist JOSH KERR are entered. Judging by past championships – no one has ever run sub-3:40 – it’s likely to be tactical.
Reigning champion GEORGE MILLS led the way in the Müller Indoor Grand Prix (3:36.03) and could potentially be up against past champions GRICE, GILES and GOURLEY who also have the qualifying mark. PIERS COPELAND was just behind MILLS in Birmingham last Saturday with his (3:36.12) indoor PB and he did win the indoor trial race last year and he has great range having run a 48 400m and sub-8:00 3000m in 2021. ARCHIE DAVIS could be another factor – he was second ahead of MILLS in last year’s trials race and has run (3:40.28) this winter. 

Men’s 3000m (world qualifier: 7:50.00) – CBP: DAVID LEWIS (7:49.61) 1986 – Defending champion (2020): JONATHAN DAVIES (8:07.96) – Most wins: IAN STEWART, IAN MCAFFERTY, RAY SMEDLEY, MO FARAH, LEE EMANUEL 3 – UK lead: ANDREW BUCHART (7:37.42)

UK leader ANDREW BUCHART isn’t entered but European 5000m record-setter MARC SCOTT is due to run, as is in-form TOM MORTIMER, Olympic steeplechaser ZAK SEDDON and (3:34) 1500m runner JAMES WEST, who has produced a (7:44) earlier in the month. Remarkably a dozen British men have beaten the world standard this winter but only MORTIMER, WEST and JAMAINE COLEMAN are entered of those. JACK ROWE has yet to run indoors this winter but in 2021 made the European Indoor final and ran (7:42.15) in the summer so can’t be discounted. Other interesting entries are UK under-20 record-setter OSIAN PERRIN and teenager HENRY MCLUCKIE. Also watch for (3:36) 1500m runner JOSHUA LAY even though his 3000m PB is only (9:54.61) set at the age of 14!

Men’s 60m hurdles (world qualifier: 7.72) – CBP: COLIN JACKSON (7.43) 1990 – Defending champion (2020): DAVID KING (7.78) – Most wins: COLIN JACKSON 7 – UK lead: ANDREW POZZI (7.59)

The reigning world champion ANDREW POZZI is a clear favourite but fellow Olympian DAVID KING, who is going for his third successive title, was only 0.04 back in the Müller Indoor Grand Prix with his own (7.63) PB. The 37-year-old multiple world outdoor finalist WILL SHARMAN, who tied for first with POZZI in 2014, is due to make his 2022 debut here.

 Men’s high jump (world qualifier: 2.34) – CBP: ROBBIE GRABARZ/TOM PARSONS (2.31) 2011/2013 – Defending champion (2020): TOM GALE (2.27) – Most wins: GEOFF PARSONS 5 – UK lead: DAVID SMITH (2.22)

There is a huge gap between the UK lead and the always tough field world qualifying which is way in excess of the championships best but it will still be a good battle for the UK title. With reigning champion TOM GALE absent, UK leader DAVID SMITH, who was second in 2020, is a clear favourite.

Men’s pole vault (world qualifier: 5.81) – CBP: STEVE LEWIS/ADAM HAQUE (5.65) 2009/2018 – Defending champion (2020): ADAM HAQUE (5.55) – Most wins: MIKE BULL 8 – UK lead: HARRY COPPELL (5.54)

Former world under-18 champion and reigning UK outdoor champion HARRY COPPELL only has two silver and a bronze from his past indoor championships and will be up against defending champion ADAM HAQUE who joint holds the championship best and 2019 winner CHARLIE MYERS. Again the world indoor qualifying mark is way above the championship record.

Men’s long jump (world qualifier: 8.22) – CBP: STEWART FAULKNER (8.03) 1990 – Defending champion (2020): DAN BRAMBLE (7.81) – Most wins: CHRIS TOMLINSON 6 – UK lead: JACK ROACH (7.66)

It’s not been a classic year for British long jumping with UK leader JACK ROACH a marginal favourite among a small field which sees none of the 2020 medallists return. The 2019 runner-up JAMES LELLIOTT has yet to show his best form this winter. An interesting entry is multi jumps talent DOMINIC OGBECHIE, who also goes in the high jump.

Men’s triple jump (world qualifier: 17.10) – CBP: PHILLIPS IDOWU (17.30) 2005 – Defending champion (2020): MICHAEL PUPLAMPU (16.21) – Most wins: TOSIN OKE (NGR) 6 – UK lead: MONTEL NEVERS (15.81)

The UK triple jump scene has also not come alive this season with no one near 16 metres. However, there are three past champions with 17-metre bests entered. Tokyo Olympic competitor and former world youth champion BEN WILLIAMS, who won the title way back in 2011, has only jumped a modest (13.99) this year but did win the 2019 British outdoor championships with a (17.27). NATHAN DOUGLAS, with a (17.64) PB first won this title in 2006, hits 40 later this year. He first jumped 16 metres in 2003 and managed a windy (16.20) last year and is still a medal challenger. Former European medallist JULIAN REID has yet to compete in 2022. 

Men’s shot (world qualifier: 21.10) – CBP: GARRETT JOHNSON (USA) (20.66) 2008 – Defending champion (2020): SCOTT LINCOLN (19.49) – Most wins: MIKE WINCH 7 – UK lead: SCOTT LINCOLN (20.73)

SCOTT LINCOLN has a two-metre advantage at the top of the rankings and will be a huge favourite as he goes for a sixth successive title with an eye on the championships best of (20.66) considering he has thrown further this winter.

Men’s heptathlon (world qualifier: n/a) – CBP: ALEX KRUGER (5888) 1993 – Defending champion (2020): ANDREW MURPHY (5606) – Most wins: JOHN HEANLEY 3 – UK lead: LEWSIS CHURCH (5482)

The England title in January was a close affair with just 83 points between LEWSIS CHURCH, HARRY KENDALL and HARRY MASLEN and the trio are all entered. 

Men’s 3000m walk (world qualifier: n/a) – CBP: TOM BOSWORTH (10:58.21) 2016 – Defending champion (2020): (5000mW): TOM BOSWORTH (18:20.97) – Most wins: TOM BOSWORTH 6 – UK lead: TOM PARTINGTON (12:59.01)

With a disappointing four competitors the event switches back from a 5000m walk which was held between 2017 and 2020. CHRIS SNOOK, who recently won the England 10km road walk title, looks the likely favourite based on his (12:03.14) outdoor PB.

Women’s 60m (world qualifier: 7.30) – CBP: ASHA PHILIP (7.09) 2014 – Defending champion (2020): AMY HUNT (7.39) – Most wins: BEV KINCH, JOICE MADUAKA, ASHA PHILIP 6 – UK lead: DARYLL NEITA (7.11)

ASHA PHILIP chases a record seventh title but not having yet competed in 2022 will be up against it with fellow Olympic relay medallist DARYLL NEITA clearly in great shape after a (7.11) PB. Former BUCS winner CHEYANNE EVANS-GRAY should challenge for a medal based on here recent (7.22) PB.
Reigning champion AMY HUNT pulled up injured in the Müller Indoor Grand Prix Birmingham.

Women’s 200m (world qualifier: n/a) – CBP: MERLENE OTTEY (JAM) (23.07) 1990 – Defending champion (2020): AMI PIPI (23.23) – Most wins: CIARA SHEEHY (IRL) and JOICE MADUAKA 3
UK lead: AMBER ANNING (23.23)

With this event not contested in Belgrade, the entry is low. The 2020 runner-up JAZMINE MOSS is the fastest entry on 2022 times with a (23.94) this winter. 

Women’s 400m (world qualifier: 52.90) – CBP: NICOLA SANDERS (50.60) 2007 – Defending champion (2020): JESSIE KNIGHT (52.76) – Most wins: VERONA ELDER 8 – UK lead: AMI PIPI (52.02)

Defending champion JESSIE KNIGHT will be hard to beat but this is one of the best races on paper of the weekend. Also entered are reigning 200m champion and 400m Olympian AMI PIPI who won her opening 400m race in Mondeville and then improved to an UK lead (52.02) in Torun. Another to watch is European Team Championships 400m hurdles winner LINA NIELSEN. HANNAH WILLIAMS, sister of Olympic finalist JODIE, ran (51.60) last summer and should also challenge. But many eyes will be on KEELY HODGKINSON after her stunning British 800m record in Birmingham last weekend. The Olympic silver medallist has never raced 400m indoors before but based on her (52.61) last summer, she is capable of battling for a medal.

Women’s 800m (world qualifier: 2:01.50) – CBP: JO MERSH (1:59.74) 2003 – Defending champion (2020): KEELY HODGKINSON (2:04.37) – Most wins: JENNY MEADOWS 7 – UK lead: KEELY HODGKINSON (1:57.20)

Defending champion and UK record-holder HODGKINSON does not need to compete here for selection but there is still a quality field headed by Olympic fourth-placer JEMMA REEKIE who lost her UK record last week. In-form ISSY BOFFEY beat REEKIE in winning the Müller Indoor Grand Prix 1000m but the Scot is likely to run a more conservative race here. JENNY SELMAN has the world qualifier this winter with a (2:00.70) and will also be in the medal mix.

Women’s 1500m (world qualifier: 4:09.00) – CBP: ZOLA BUDD (4:06.87) 1986 – Defending champion (2020): HOLLY ARCHER (4:21.99) – Most wins: HAYLEY PARKINSON-OVENS/MARY STEWART 3 – UK lead: AMY-ELOISE MARKOVC (4:08.68)

REEKIE is also entered here though she has yet to run a 1500m this winter and only run two in 2021 but will start favourite if she competes here. Also in the field are Olympian REVEE WALCOTT-NOLAN and ADELLE TRACEY, who though both previously more used to 800m racing have (4:06) outdoor bests. European indoor medallist and reigning champion HOLLY ARCHER is also entered but has not shown her best form thus far in 2022 unlike European under-23 medallist ERIN WALLACE who ran a PB and world qualifier (4:08.90) at Birmingham last week. 

Women’s 3000m (world qualifier: 8:49.00) – CBP: JO PAVEY (8:43.23) 2004 – Defending champion (2020): MELISSA COURTNEY-BRYANT (9:48.54) – Most wins: 9 athletes (HELEN CLITHEROE, SUSAN MCGEORGE, LISA DOBRISKEY, ZARA HYDE PETERS, THELMA BATEMAN, MARY STEWART, ANGELA DAVIES, JO PAVEY, LAURA MUIR) – UK lead: AMY-ELOISE MARKOVC (8:44.15)

European indoor champion AMY-ELOISE MARKOVC is the big favourite being the world leader and having run a fast 1500m PB at Birmingham. Also entered are European indoor finalist AMELIA QUIRK while ARCHER and WALCOTT-NOLAN have this as an alternative to the 1500m. 

Women’s 60m hurdles (world qualifier: 8.16) – CBP: JESSICA ENNIS-HILL (7.95) 2013 – Defending champion (2020): YASMIN MILLER (8.29) – Most wins: LORNA BOOTH 5 – UK lead: CINDY SEMBER (7.96)

The clear UK leader CINDY SEMBER is absent but it should make it a closer race with just 0.06 of a second between HOLLY MILLS, MEGHAN MARRS, JENNA BLUNDELL and ALICIA BARRATT on their 2022 times. 

Women’s high jump (world qualifier: 1.97) – CBP: KATARINA JOHNSON-THOMPSON (1.97) 2015 – Defending champion (2020): BETHAN PARTRIDGE (1.87) – Most wins: SUSAN JONES-MONCRIEFF 7 – UK lead: EMILY BORTHWICK (1.95)

Former world leader EMILY BORTHWICK has been a revelation in 2022 but she was not at her best in the Müller Indoor Grand Prix where LAURA ZIALOR was in good form and finished second equal beside the Olympic champion MARIYA LASITSKENE with a (1.91) PB. No other British jumper has gone higher than (1.80) this winter

Women’s pole vault (world qualifier: 4.75) – CBP: HOLLY BRADSHAW (4.77) 2013 – Defending champion (2020): SOPHIE COOK (4.50) – Most wins: JANINE WHITLOCK 7 – UK lead: JADE IVE (4.35)

With Olympic medallist HOLLY BRADSHAW sitting out the winter, there will be no UK representative in Belgrade. The title should be fought out between reigning champion SOPHIE COOK and 2017 winner JADE IVE, while 18-year-old SOPHIE ASHURST looks a clear bet for third. 

Women’s long jump (world qualifier: 6.80) – CBP: KATARINA JOHNSON-THOMPSON (6.75) 2014 – Defending champion (2020):ABIGAIL IROZURU (6.70) – Most wins: ETHEL RABY 5 – UK lead: LORRAINE UGEN (6.71)

Former world indoor bronze medallist LORRAINE UGEN is out on her own at the top of the rankings but the title should see a closer affair than the 2022 lists suggest. Olympic finalists ABIGAIL IROZURU and JAZMIN SAWYERS (6.46) in Torun this week have yet to come anywhere near their best this winter but are proven competitors while consistent LUCY HADAWAY should also be in the medal hunt.

Lorraine Ugen (Mark Shearman)

Women’s triple jump (world qualifier: 14.30) – CBP: ASHIA HANSEN (14.23) 1999 – Defending champion (2020): NAOMI OGBETA (13.83) – Most wins: MICHELLE GRIFFITH/ASHIA HANSEN 5 – UK lead: NAOMI METGER (13.83)

NAOMI METGER (OGBETA when she won her last title) just missed out on the Olympics last year and here she enjoys a metre supremacy over the opposition and would be a major surprise if she did not win her third successive title. LILY HULLAND looks the best bet for second. 

Women’s shot (world qualifier: 18.30) – CBP: JUDY OAKES (18.57) 1996 – Defending champion (2020): AMELIA STRICKLER (17.97) – Most wins: JUDY OAKES 18 – UK lead: SOPHIE MCKINNA (18.53)
Last time in 2020, SOPHIE MCKINNA was surprisingly beaten by AMELIA STRICKLER but she has started in 2022 in great form and the great JUDY OAKES championship record is within her range. Surprisingly while she has won nine indoor medals, only one of them was gold. STRICKLER is entered but has yet to compete in 2022.

Sophie McKinna (Mark Shearman)

Women’s pentathlon (world qualifier: n/a) – CBP: JULIA BENNETT (4297) (1998) – Defending champion (2020): KATIE STAINTON (4306) – Most wins: KELLY SOTHERTON/KARLA DREW 3 – UK lead: HOLLY MILLS (4597)

Top of the rankings by 400 plus points, HOLLY MILLS only competes in individual events. KATIE STAINTON won last year’s British and English titles multi event title outdoors but she has barely competed in 2022 and based on the year’s rankings England indoor runner-up this winter JO ROWLAND has the best mark this winter. 

Women’s 3000m walk (world qualifier: n/a) – CBP: GILLIAN O’SULLIVAN (IRL) (12:17.56) – Defending champion (2020) 5000W: ABIGAIL JENNINGS (25:28.46) – Most wins: GILLIAN O’SULLIVAN 3 – UK lead: BETHAN DAVIES (13:17.38)

While the men’s walks entry is dire, the women’s is strong though BETHAN DAVIES has a huge advantage by time on what is quite a youthful field. There are also men’s and women’s disability 60m where Paralympic champions THOMAS YOUNG and SOPHIE HAHN are clear favourites in combined ambulant categories
