The new tube map with six coloured Overground lines is now out (and says September 2024 on the cover, because that’s how late this rebrand is)

If I go to see Wicked in the cinema what are the chances that someone in the audience will sing along? I need to know because I don't want to spend life in prison.

What if people need to get to hospitals?
What if people need to get their kids to school?
What if people need life saving tubs of ice cream from the local Tesco Metro?
(Am I doing this right?)

annual reminder that getting disabled kids to perform sadness so nondisabled people give money to charity is gross and ableist

I don't wish to sound too hyperbolic or reactionary but Stephen Fry et al's intervention on Tube 5G seems to capture something about British NIMBYism / degrowth.
No parent wants their kids to be spending all their time on smartphones, but restricting 5G on the Tube is one of the dumbest ways of achieving that.
Mobile Internet coverage is a basic provision for an advanced economy, London is already behind and @SadiqKhan is right to pursue it.
We should celebrate building things! (And parents can always just not give their children smartphones)

This Christmas, there's a new London terminus: Fields.
ALT Poster explaining that over Christmas, London Overground services that usually run to London Liverpool Street will terminate at London Fields.

I swear some people think the UK and specially London should be preserved as some sort of living museum.
