#OpenHouseLondon peaked for us today, thanks to @wiilassie.bsky.social managing to snap up a pair of BT Tower tickets last month. You can watch this timelapse on a loop to experience it for yourself, albeit at 30 times the speed we did

Just going through the answers I’ve got so far now for a tutorial tomorrow and I suspect it’s not just me that’ll be touched by the map of places people have been happy and their reasons. I recommend it to you if you’re feeling a bit Sunday-evening-ish: londonisfine.co.uk/map

Little reminder that I’m still on the hunt for your (or your friends’ and followers’) answers about London at londonisfine.co.uk with the hope that somehow together we can make this sort of weirdness less likely. Reposts very much appreciated, ta x www.lbc.co.uk/article/dona...

Third of people share Donald Trump’s belief that London has no-go areas | LBC

I hear that you shouldn’t close yourself to the counter-intuitive and unexpected in research. So I’m going to be conducting my research on London from the Basque Country for a few days. Will let you know how I get on. Look after London while I’m gone!

A mystery. Two markers in the same spot in SE London extolling lime and basil ice cream. Maybe the ice cream was more memorable than placing the marker & it’s the same person? Maybe it is (v optimistic) guerrilla marketing? Nah, surely just really nice ice cream that makes people happy.

Personally I am on tenterhooks to see whether Carnival weekend will have any effect on the void over West London. Hope everyone going has an excellent time, selfishly hope someone tells my map about it

[minor update: map re-greyed & I’m telling you in case you were put off checking in on London happiness by the model railway colours of the temporary fix. Quite a few new locations in the last week, some touching, some cheering, some funny]

I’ve just switched ‘pin clustering’ on the map off (maybe temporarily) to see if it allows us a better sense of happiness deserts and oases. Take a look if you have a minute, and maybe nudge a proud West Londoner if there’s one near you? londonisfine.co.uk/map/

More than a hundred map locations! I promised I’d say where the 100th is so that someone can feel the inner glow of luck. So… the 100th happiness was just off the Strand! Or maybe in Dulwich. Sorry. I think you should both glow to be safe. (Strand = 100 locations, Dulwich = 100 locations in London)

London is fine @londonisfine.co.uk · 26/08/2026

If you wanted to leave a record of where you’ve been happy in London today but were put off because there were weird watermarks all over the map - sorry! Watermarks now gone. (Have also fixed the weird thing with the shadows from the markers if that was bothering you)

000

London is fine @londonisfine.co.uk · 26/08/2026

2 updates: currently at 99 locations! Who will be the lucky 100th? Tbf I won’t know who (but I’ll know where & will report back) And an updated word cloud for you, in case you were curious about how thanking London is getting on: www.londonisfine.co.uk/word-cloud

Thank you, thank you and thank you again if you have answered one or both of the questions at LiF. We are approaching 100 locations of happiness on the map, and I’d really love to hit 3 figures. If you’d like to help us to get there I’d be really grateful for reposts of my pinned post?

Hi! Do you live in London? Or have you spent time there? Would you like to help with some research on how we can counter the daft lies that circulate about our city online? I’d be really interested in your answers to two questions at www.londonisfine.co.uk

Hi Sheamus! you seem to have accidentally given me 'anon@gmail.com' as your mail address so I can't reply directly but perhaps you'll see this here. 1/5

message via LiF's contact form gives contact email as anon@gmail.com and reads 'Hi! London isn't fine. Every High Street contains multiple shops and businesses set-up for the purpose of laundering the proceeds of drug dealing and prostitution'

Interesting… do take a look at the LiF map if you haven’t for a few days because you’d think we were all talking about a different city londonisfine.co.uk/map

How blessèd do I feel, you ask? Only medium blessèd if I’m honest as someone right outside my window is digging up the street with a very loud drill. Still! Your news would probably make up for all that.

London is fine @londonisfine.co.uk · 19/08/2026

Good morning London. Please know that I sincerely want you to be happy and to feel blessèd today. (So that you can tell me about it at londonisfine.co.uk)

The Tower Ravens get sad and dream of escape when no one adds a new reason to thank London or location of happiness to London is Fine for a while. You could cheer them up by having your say here: www.londonisfine.co.uk

I hope Sir Sadiq @london.gov.uk will like the picture of the fox and appreciate that I went to the effort of getting a thematically appropriate (almost, sorta) stamp for my lobbying efforts

London is fine postcard/flyer depicting a fox looking at a bin. Reverse with Monopoly-themed stamp showing the Scottie dog counter on Pentonville Road on the board, and in the tiniest handwriting I can do, the following text:

‘Dear Sir Sadiq, I hope you’re well. I’m a postgrad student at Central Saint Martins researching whether and how the authentic voice of Londoners can be used to counter the disinformation that spreads about our city. Thank you for all you’ve done to bring this issue to light.

I have two simple anonymous survey questions at the londonisfine.co.uk site: What would you thank London for? and Where were you happy in London? I’d love to know your answers to these questions.

You could give anonymous answers at the site. If you’re able, though, I’d be really grateful for answers I could attribute to you, either publicly or in my academic work. I can be reached at nikki@londonisfine.co.uk. Yours faithfully

As things currently stand in our survey of London happiness the results show: North of the river: 49% South of the river: 49% (Bridge: 2%) This can’t stand! Everyone knows your side of the river is happier! Prove it by adding the place you were happy here: londonisfine.co.uk/map

Was out in Whitechapel for peak eclipse and wasn’t prepared for what a lovely few minutes it would be: people hanging out in a thin sliver of sunlight passing their eclipse glasses round, and calling strangers over to have a go, a man showing off the crescents that his colander made
