Really lovely piece Elin. So important we keep these unique pieces in situ. People always rave about a new Banksy but these pieces have so much history. Hammersmith have done really well to harness local funds and support to restore the Greek Runner. www.spraweb.net/post/the-gra...

Yes a wonderful and fitting event. I am drawing the LPAC work to a conclusion as best as I can given Nicky’s absence. London Society will host the material, hopefully a launch in the summer.

Politicians giving other politicians honours for being politicians, civil servants giving other civil servants honours for being civil servants - the ridiculous patting each other on the back. Surely it’s time to bring the charade to a close.

Long term empty homes - Southwark 2932, Newham 2053, Barnet 1905, Lambeth 1886, K&C 1720. That’s more than 10,500 empty homes in just 5 boroughs. So no new build in Southwark, Barnet, Newham??

Not sure I agree. Vacancy rates in London are up 62% since 2018, most Zone 1 and Zone 2 properties are designed, built and priced for international investors, and funnily enough the highest number of vacants are in Southwark, K&C, Newham and Lambeth.
