Really lovely piece Elin. So important we keep these unique pieces in situ. People always rave about a new Banksy but these pieces have so much history. Hammersmith have done really well to harness local funds and support to restore the Greek Runner. www.spraweb.net/post/the-gra...

Richard Derecki: Arab Christmas by Candlelight - OnLondon
Christmas is over. The decorations are down, the cards (fewer in number again this year) are in the recycling and some London Christmas trees are still beached on street corners like misshapen whales,...

Yes a wonderful and fitting event. I am drawing the LPAC work to a conclusion as best as I can given Nicky’s absence. London Society will host the material, hopefully a launch in the summer.

Politicians giving other politicians honours for being politicians, civil servants giving other civil servants honours for being civil servants - the ridiculous patting each other on the back. Surely it’s time to bring the charade to a close.

Just a reminder, as you look outside and notice it's already getting dark 😱, that today is the earliest sunset of the year (15:51 in London). From tomorrow the sunsets slowwwwly start getting later again. (Sunrises don't start getting earlier until Dec 30th hence solstice on 21st.) YOU ARE WELCOME.

www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... I’m up to episode 3 and a half - but I just don’t think I can keep going. It’s so dull.

Yes - and look at the paltry numbers built at Barking Riverside and Ebbsfleet after all these years of active promotion.

Yazz Ahmed is such a wonderful performer and her band were spot on. Showcasing her new album out in February. And the venue - Grand Junction - is breathtaking. Only in London ❤️

Long term empty homes - Southwark 2932, Newham 2053, Barnet 1905, Lambeth 1886, K&C 1720. That’s more than 10,500 empty homes in just 5 boroughs. So no new build in Southwark, Barnet, Newham??

Not sure I agree. Vacancy rates in London are up 62% since 2018, most Zone 1 and Zone 2 properties are designed, built and priced for international investors, and funnily enough the highest number of vacants are in Southwark, K&C, Newham and Lambeth.
