Catcalled by a deliveroo guy…

It was 9:35pm and I was on my way back from my pottery class, headphones in my ears but nothing playing (IYKYK).
I cross the street and there’s a deliveroo guy on his bike, catcalling me as he cycled past.
I was so stunned, I didn’t really react - then thought he was probably after a reaction so bit giving one was likely the best approach - and he looked back over his shoulder a couple of time until he was too far.
That’s kind of upset me because I was just minding my own business, lost in my thoughts, crossing the street and this asshole just made me feel like a vulnerable piece of meat. He’s probably done it to all the women on his path tonight, just cycling past and catcalling as if it was fun(ny)…
UGH!
There’s also a worry of ordering something online and having this pos show up to my door - it’s incredible how something so stupid feels so threatening!
Anyway, rant over - I literally just needed to vent before bed 😤

someone keeps improperly binning rice to feed rats

I’m a local resident in Tower Hamlets and walk by this bin at least twice a day. There is a big plastic container on the other side of the bin (not pictured) which is either filled with water or rice. The rice is usually binned just on the ground next to the bins. I’m always seeing big groups of rats from the adjacent construction site feeding on the rice.

Other people in my building have also noticed this but said the council is quite slow to react. This just seems like a biohazard and makes me wary about the amount of mice in the area that are just being fed by someone’s daily scraps. Who do I report this to? What can even be done?

Edit: spelling errors

Wanted- 2014 limited edition Oyster card ‘year of the bus’

Does anyone have a spare unregistered 2014 limited edition oyster? I’ve attached what it looks like. I’m deviated because I’ve just realised that mine fell out of my pocket and I’m trying to find one that I can use again since my mum gave it to me as a present a while ago.

Genuinely I’m willing to pay money as long as it’s unregistered or there’s some way I can have it under my own account so dm me if that’s a possibility.
Thank you for your time :(

🔥Don’t be fooled—those aren’t leaves. It’s hundreds of ring-necked parakeets covering a tree in London.

Open House

So what did everyone scramble and book at midday today?

I managed to snag a spot at Lloyd's of London, plus a couple others, but devastated I missed out on the BT Tower and Canada House.

What's good that still has space or is a drop-in?

Notting Hill Carnival ‘26

Me and my partner are going to our first ever Carnival. We are young, 27 and 22, love live music, reggae and dancehall etc.

Reading through some of the comments on here surrounding it has concerned me with the crowds, is it really that bad? Any general tips for first timers? And best areas to stay in for travelling to and from?

Is Monday the best day to go? Or we should consider Sunday as well?

Hydrotherapy or Physiotherapy for dogs in Central Lonodon

Hello,

My 11 y/o Lab was diagnosed with arthritis, and unfortunately our insurance won’t cover hydrotherapy/physiotherapy. Since his arthritis was classified as a pre existing condition under his insurance I am also paying for his monthly medication out of pocket. I would like him to do either hydrotherapy or physiotherapy once a week, but it is extremely expensive and far away from where I live in Camden. I am ok to spend 70£ish per session but the only place I found would do it is an 1 hour walk away, and my lab will not go in the tube. Does any one have any recommendations for at home physiotherapy or places within Camden that will do either hydrotherapy or physiotherapy? Would appreciate any insight

ULEZ works - Children's stunted lungs show recovery in ultra low emission zones

Whenever I see people complaining about ULEZ or LTNs or Congestion Charges it just reminds me that the reality is most people who argue against them are people willing to sacrifice our children's health for their own convenience.

Live sport to watch in London over the next week ⚽🏏🏉

I've pulled together a list of all the sporting events in London with tickets available over the next week, including the football league, County Championship cricket, and rugby league. Which one would you go to? 😎

  1. Men's football: the Premier League kicks off this weekend, with three London games (Arsenal vs Coventry on Friday, Brentford vs Spurs on Saturday, and Fulham vs Chelsea on Monday), but those all need club membership so they're not really an option for most of us this week. Here are my top 3 picks from the rest of London's football instead.
    • West Ham vs Charlton, Championship, London Stadium, Saturday 22nd August, 3pm. Tickets from £30.
    • AFC Wimbledon vs Reading, League One, Plough Lane, Saturday 22nd August, 3pm. Tickets from £27.
    • Sutton United vs Hartlepool, National League, Gander Green Lane, Saturday 22nd August, 12.30pm. Tickets from £21.
  2. 🏏 Cricket: County Championship
    • Surrey vs Nottinghamshire, Thursday 20th to Sunday 23rd August at the Oval. Tickets £15. Surrey are doing their ‘Work From Oval’ scheme so you can take a laptop and grab a desk while watching the game.
    • Middlesex vs Kent, Thursday 20th to Sunday 23rd August at Merchant Taylors' School, Northwood. Tickets £20.
  3. 🏉 London Broncos vs Halifax Panthers, Championship, Cherry Red Records Stadium, Sunday 23rd August, 3pm. Tickets from £18.
  4. Women's football - my top 2 picks below
    • Dulwich Hamlet Women vs Saltdean United Women, FAWNL South East Division One, Champion Hill, Sunday 23rd August, 2pm. Tickets £5.
    • AFC Wimbledon Women vs Dulwich Hamlet Women, London derby, FA Women's National League Cup, Imperial Fields, Wednesday 26th August, 7.45pm. Tickets £8.

One other thing to mention: the ballot for this year's World Darts Championship at Ally Pally in December opens soon too (ballot 1 on 1st September, ballot 2 on 8th September), worth registering if you fancy a shot at tickets since they're not expecting a general sale once it closes.

Let me know what you think of this list! Are you going to something this week? Anything else on your radar? 😊
