I really feel like the Tate Modern might be turning a corner. After years of incredibly tedious and annoying captions alongside very poorly conceived exhibitions, both Nigerian Modernism and the Emily Kam Kngwarray (closes on 11 January) are a massive return to form.

Bumped into Hodge - Southwark Cathedral's rambunctious and friendly in-house cat. He's a bit of a chonker... I suspect the delights of nearby Borough Market are partly to blame.

Southwark council is waiving parking fees for car clubs.
This is a *very* welcome first step from @jamesmcash.bsky.social and is the start of building a policy environment that supports car clubs in London.
We now need all boroughs to follow Southwark’s lead.
