I LOVE all the micro community libraries that now exist all over London - but this one on Upper Street in Islington is one of my favourites. It only has children's books and it is really well lit, maintained and heavily used - sometimes it has queues!

Yeah. I know I'm obsessed by ceilings, but here is another good one you might not have seen - inside of the dome of the Old Bailey

Beautiful early 19th century cast iron water pump on the south side of Gray's Inn Square.
Octagonal Gothic style with ogee, cusped panels with crockets on the ribs.
Amazing what is all around us in London!

Filming Slow Horses on Aldersgate Street a few weeks ago. Over the last 5 years having to go "a long way round" at weekends has become a typical occurrence in Barbican or Smithfield as roads are blocked. Worth watching - though locals will recognise creative edits between locations

When I was a child, this was our football goal in the garden at the back of my grandmother's flat. It was unmarked and dirty. 50 years on, I've found out that it was part of the Old London Bridge from 1776 - a part of history. In 2025 it was restored and a sign added. We had no idea!

Staying with the bird theme, here is an early morning shopper in Chapel Market last week. As well as snacks on the stall it also got away with a fish too large to fly with so it dragged it down the road for a Xmas feast

Another ceiling - but what an awesome ceiling it is! The Banqueting House on Whitehall - the only large surviving component of the Palace of Whitehall. The photo doesn't do justice to the amazing Rubens panels. Worth a visit.

Amazing news. Well done to all who contributed to this important change 🎉
WE DID IT! That’s the two-child benefit cap lifted! This will lift over 350,000 children out of poverty. It has been the single biggest driver of child poverty!

In the churchyard of St Magnus the Martyr there are some stones from the medieval London Bridge - and incredibly this chunk of wood is thought to be a pile from the original Roman bridge. You can touch it. The tree it came from lived over 2,000 years ago!

This is a fire projected on the dome of St Paul's in 2016 as part of a series of events to mark the 350th anniversary of the great fire of London. It was a video projection and very moving.
