I just love this sculpture.

I went to the capital today and was awe struck by this.. I wonder what people’s thought are about it.? I personally thought it was beguiling.

Cycling is London’s fastest mode of transport

According to the GLA, average car speeds in London (rounded to nearest mph) are:

  • 7mph in central London
  • 12mph in inner London
  • 20mph in outer London

So the further in London you are, the faster cycling becomes vs. driving, but even in outer London cycling can be as fast if not faster that driving.

Plus you save money on fuel, insurance, road tax and get fitter doing it.

Smashed Chinese bowl at British Museum sparks diplomatic row

So this is what will start our war with China... if no one was in the room when it happened I'm chalking it up to a freak accident or ghosts.

Brutalist Barbican

I've always loved walking around Barbican Highwalks, and thought I'd share photos taken over the past few years.

Autumn and Deer in Richmond Park

Me and some of the guys from Shoulder To Shoulder took our cameras for an autumnal walk around Richmond Park yesterday. Managed to survive the rutting deer and a million cyclists.

Can we organise a ban Street preachers.

Is anyone else sick to death of them.

Back when it was just a speaker outside a ship I hated them enough. But every fkin day I have to hear a long speech about how I’m going to hell at the bus stop on the train and literally everywhere else.

Southall

Hi! I've been living in London for 7 years now. One thing I love about it is that many areas are true micro cosmos of cultures, sometimes totally unexpected. For some reasons I had to move to Southall and I discovered a world in London I wasn't aware of. Southall looks to me like the center of the Indian and surrounding areas community in London. It's like walking into a separate world full of colours, spices, clothes with traditional decorations, turbans and well groomed beards. When I walk the streets people look at me like an alien, for some reason I like this feeling because it makes me feel like the world still have unexplored areas that can enrich you. I really love London, I really do.

Why are there no night pharmacies in London?

European here, used to having pharmacies open all night long so you can pick up emergency prescriptions. Here the latest closing pharmacy in central I could find is Boots in Liverpool Street which shuts at 8pm - and online services won't deliver prescription medicines I found.

How come there's no night pharmacies in one of the world's largest & most developed capital cities?

Edit: if you know a pharmacy that's open until at least 11pm, please share name and link to its location here (and please double check before sharing), hopefully this will help someone else in the future!
