Never noticed the outside lift at The Standard before- sure it’s always been there. Very 70’s sci-fi and a better illustration of being different than putting the name upside down
Former Jerusalem Tavern in Britton Street is still a lovely little pub - but don’t understand exactly why the change of ownership necessitated a new name #TheHolyTavern
Renovation has been going on in Portpool Lane EC1 for possibly years. Finally the scaffolding has gone. I assume the nesting ‘boxes’ are a parting gift from the builders

Rush hour #Farringdon - @TLRailUK train says check platform boards - they haven’t worked for days.
📢 train on platform 4 is for Luton - lots board.
📢 train on platform 4 is for Kentish Town - many get off.
📢 train on Platform 4 calls only at West Hampstead
Station staff laugh
A gaggle of geese, a crowd of people. What’s the collective noun for this? A Boris of bikes maybe?

Fantastic London Community Gospel Choir opens Connected Britain 2026 - on at @ExceLLondon on Wednesday & Thursday
#ConnectedBritain
Massive queue for @Eurostar today- going to need serious changes before they add more #trains through #ChannelTunnel
Finding @BufferingBrit app fascinating: solid LHR T4; #blackspot Street, Somerset; and St Albans, Herts - Usable
There’s no escaping it - walking in EC1 is getting more dangerous with cyclists and walkers effectively sharing the same space. Down on Farringdon Rd raised curbs separate road from cycle lane. An accident waiting to happen for all.
Unsurprisingly, a sea of brown (grass) at @KnebworthHouse this weekend- but the tomatoes still look good

The deal’s biggest telecom headline isn’t just the sheer scale, but the structural transformation behind it.

Last day today at #FMS2026 - we had less than 5-months to deliver this event since @Terrapinn acquired it. Delighted by how it’s gone with attendance up by around 1/3 compared to 2025.
