Signs of activity in the former Wilko store in #Tooting. Is what was once Aldi's smallest UK store about to move around the corner to a prime site opposite the tube station? Aldi has recently taken over former the Wilko sites in Fulham and Wimbledon and is keen to expand in the capital.

Battersea Power Station visit yesterday and, for all my concerns re the redevelopment, I like what they’ve done. Fun fact of the day, discovering it survived the bombing that devastated much of London during the Blitz because Luftwaffe pilots needed to see the steam from its chimneys for navigation.

Due to Caltrain's electrification, local service will now take 75 minutes from end to end instead of 100 minutes.

Electrification creates instant torque, trains goes faster much quicker, less ramp up time to reach desired speed.

Next time you’re waiting for the District Line at Sloane Square Station check out the rather uninspiring & hefty green iron pipe, suspended from girders, that runs above the platform & railway tracks. This is what’s left of the River Westbourne, one of London’s hidden rivers 1/
