Various buses on the stands at Streatham station, January 2023 - when route 133 was still operated by Arriva, and ran to Liverpool Street rather than Holborn

Such a gorgeous building, one of my favourites in Holborn. If your editorial meeting is held there again, can highly recommend a 10 minute walk over to Holborn Library. It's just had a big renovation and is quite the joy to be in.

Went to an editorial meeting for The New Humanist in this building in Holborn today. It’s where I worked for three years after leaving school before I went to university. Last set foot in it in 1980. Not that I expect anyone to be interested but please humour me.

He makes funny automated stuff like this. Got a little museum in Holborn and one on Southwold Pier, and made Pink Floyd’s flying pigs back in the day

I’d love to see what it looked like in-situ at Lambeth in 1948, but I can’t find a photo for the life of me!
looks like he reused that dove in one of his windows at St Andrew Holborn, London

Great UI; code & data available: exemplary.
Fascinating to track the trajectories of serial offenders over their careers - e.g. Edward Duncombe's migration Westwards... (Fleet Street -> Holborn -> Drury Lane / Oxford Street -> St. Martin’s Lane) or William Ward's slide from West End to the fringes

It seems a priest was taken in his vests officiating somewhere in Holborn the other day, and was committed by Secretary Morris, according to law; and they say the Bishop of London did give him thanks for it.

William the Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke is interned at Temple Church in Holborn. He was a fascinating character a Knight of lower class rank he served not only 5 English Kings but also Eleanor of Aquitaine. He was Marshal and Regent of England and helped to negotiate the Magna Carta. 1/

Actually skipping the "magic" itself for today's #Febchantment, but instead showing the "monster crawls out of the smoking wreckage" moment afterwards 🤣
Not sure about the pejorative 'insane' by narrator, it's a callback to someone's free indirect, but I prefer the narrator not to talk like that. 🫤

Out last night with @moiness.bsky.social to see Guy Chambers doing his one-man show at Pizza Express in High Holborn
Lots of chat about his time working with Robbie Wiliams, and also his band The Lemon Trees, who were greatly under-appreciated IMO
