This, from Gwendoline Riley’s The Palm House, is very relatable.

Farewell Ken Bates. Vivid memories of him coming on the pitch at Villa to try and quell a pitch invasion and getting picked up by the Chelsea fans who ran round the pitch with him on their shoulders before giving him the bumps.

Highly recommend a visit to the Museum Of Youth Culture to play their subculture themed table football machine.

The ‘new’ Brixton Franca Manca on the site of the old Wahaca has closed down - one of those cursed London sites that will simply have to become a Gail’s.

There were only two more books in Zola’s Rougon-Macquart series I really want to read, but I am only allowing myself to get them if I find them in charity shops. Found one of them today!

This is a very strange retelling of the Jack Sheppard story. Anybody read it?

Never seen a vox pop as suspiciously perfect as this comment from ‘Darryl’ on Taylor Swift’s trip to Croydon. But it’s from the excellent @londoncentric.media so I will take it on trust.

Not just a great sentiment but truly outstanding aim and pelvic floor muscle control.

Delighted to see (and very happy to contribute to) this hefty oral history of Paul Weller by Dan Jennings. It’s a fascinating read. I know Weller has been approached to write an autobiography a few times but didn’t feel ready to commit - Dan has now done all the work for him.

With a new Mick Herron book out today, here’s a photo of what I am pretty sure is Slough House taken last week when I was near the Barbican.
