The Great North Wood was a vast wooded landscape, which once covered the low hills that rise between Deptford, Streatham and Croydon.
Much of the old Great North Wood was swallowed up by development from the 1850s, but pockets remain valuable havens for animals, plants and people.
On Sunday, September 9, London Wildlife Trust held a festival in Sydenham Hill Wood to celebrate the Great North Wood and the wildlife which still thrives in the surviving woodlands and wild spaces.
The Trust’s Great North Wood project, supported by Heritage Lottery Fund, is raising awareness of this largely forgotten landscape, encouraging people to explore, enjoy and value the natural wealth on their doorsteps.
The laboratory report will show a result, risk score and recommendation for the three common chromosomal abnormalities:
A high-risk indication will be given where the result of your non-invasive prenatal test has fallen below the 1/100 threshold. If your result is 1/100 or higher risk you will be offered an invasive diagnostic test, such as a CVS or amniocentesis to give you a definite answer.
97+% of the time yes. However, the result from every sample is subjected to a large volume of quality control checks. 3% or less will not pass this stage and in this case no result will be issued. In this event the laboratory will repeat the analysis free of charge but there will be a delay in the result being issued. In the unlikely event of a second failure we offer a repeat blood test at no additional charge.
We will call you no more than 15 days after your appointment to let you know your results and will send a report detailing your estimated risk and fetal sex (if requested).
No, if you have the Harmony test before 12 weeks gestation you will still need to have a scan at 12 weeks to check your baby’s anatomy. A non-reassuring screening result following the Harmony test can only be absolutely verified by having an invasive diagnostic test such as a CVS or amniocentesis.

A Levittown man was sentenced Monday to two terms of life in prison for conspiring to murder the United States District Judge and federal prosecutor involved in his fraud conviction two years ago.
Joseph Romano was convicted in January for plotting to pay an undercover police officer $40,000 to kill the judge and prosecutor and to cut off each of their heads for a “bonus,” prosecutors said.
Authorities became aware of the 51-year-old’s murder-for-hire plot in August 2012 through an inmate at the Nassau County Correctional Center where Romano was being held. A meeting between the informant and Romano, which had been recorded by the FBI, revealed that the convicted fraudster had specific requests in mind. According to prosecutors, the judge and prosecutor were to be tortured, murdered, mutilated, and beheaded.
During the investigation, two undercover officers posing as hit men met repeatedly with Romano and Dejvid Mirkovic, his co-conspirator, and discussed payments for the murders and a separate assault.
One of the officers was paid a $1,500 down payment for the assault and received a final payment after showing Mirkovic a staged photograph and identification card as proof of the assault. Later that day, Mirkovic relayed instructions to murder the judge and prosecutor.
Mirkovic was sentenced in August to 24 years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to murder.
Romano was previously convicted in February 2012 in Central Islip to 15 years in prison for a multi-million dollar fraud involving the telemarking of coins.
