Its raining so not too good to be outside today. Leather Lane is a good compromise, sandwiched between the Grays Inn Road and Hatton Garden the market offers the usual low rent mix of mobile phone accessories, global food (Daddy Donkey's Kick Ass Burito's being a favourite) clothes strictly for fancy dress, knock off DVD's and seeds and nuts for the corpse dodgers. In amongst this however is some great...

From theartsdesk.com Conrad Shawcross - Chord . Photograph by Alex Delfanne Is site-specific the new collaboration? What I mean by this is that where it was once the fashion for artists and dancers (think Robert Rauschenberg and Merce Cunningham ) or film directors and opera houses ( Anthony Minghella and the ENO ) to mix art forms, now it is fashionable to have work inspired by and installed in a...

Camden is one of London’s hidden gems. Camden’s borough goes North from the central areas of Covent Garden and Holborn through Euston and Kings Cross into the trendy Camden Town quarter to the verdant and leafy Hampstead quarter. Being generally a wealthy quarter there are many [...]

Camden Council have apologised to a self-employed dress-maker for not lending her a pair of scissors: Lorna Watts, 26, a self-employed dressmaker, was turned down at Holborn Library in central London. She said: “It’s ridiculous – public libraries are supposed to be supportive of small businesses.” A spokeswoman for Camden Council, which runs the library, has apologised and [...]...

Yesterday was the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, or as the English more comfortably put it, Holy Cross day. Mass was offered at S. Peter's at 10am, with intention for the Society of the Holy Cross and following the example of Fr. Lowder, who regarded the Church School as an essential strategic tool in evangelisation, spent the rest of the morning in a meeting at school with the Head-Teacher....

Now that I've lived in London for over eight years, I feel I can blog with some authority on the city, don't you think? So if you're planning a trip to the capital, here's my top 10 favourite things to do in that London. 1. The London Eye . I've been on it four times, even though I'm scared of heights. 2. Sir John Soane's Museum . A hidden gem in Holborn and it's free. 3. Borough Market. Get there...

An Inquest has now revealed that PC David Pilling died of a seemingly self induced drugs overdose. His death in March shocked friends, colleagues and family, none of whom had any idea he took drugs. It probably came as a surprise to PC Pilling as well. Pc David Pilling, 47, was found by colleagues collapsed in the lounge of his flat near Regent's Park, in Camden, north London. They discovered various...

this lunchtime but passed this fantastic shop in New Oxford Street Isn't it marvelous? I remember it from my childhood as whenever my mum took me shopping in the west end we passed it on the bus and that was how I knew we were nearly there. Just down the road in High Holborn is the old Holborn Town Hall and Library a smashing piece of architecture which since the borough of Holborn was gobbled up by...

Figures uncovered by Jo Shaw, Lib Dem PPC for Holborn and St Pancras, show that DNA samples are being taken from children in Camden at the rate of nearly one a day. From the BBC: A freedom of information (FOI) request by the Liberal Democrats showed DNA has been taken from an average of 360 young people [...]

I'm assuming you've had your Lib Dem leaflet? Never let it be said that they are a party who found a vote winning strategy and discarded it too early. I refer, of course, to their infamous graphs. Now, even under normal circumstances Lib Dem graphs can be, shall we say, ingenious with the truth when they have to be. They are dead keen to show that only the Lib Dems can win any particular election but...

Looks like the rarified air of Peckham is to retain its exclusivity yet awhile. The fate of the Cross River Tram , which if you will recall is to connect Camden and Holborn to Peckham and Brixton, is looking a tad questionable today. Slight shortfall on the finance front (this after they've spent millions on research and marketing). Londonist blames that little funding flirt CrossRail - we knew she...

Sarah Teather was the guest of honour at the Holborn and St Pancras LibDem summer lunch today, in the home and garden of Camden councillor David Simmons and his wife, but she didn’t have to speak, which was probably a relief for both her and the guests who were lapping up the sun and the [...]

(Click for legibility) Courtesy of Focus on London , again, plus a little light data mining, a breakdown of employment by borough. That the City and Westminster lead is not a huge surprise, but I do not think I would have guessed all of Camden (Holborn / Covent Garden), Tower Hamlets (Docklands), Hillingdon (Heathrow), Islington (City borders) , Southwark (South Bank). Sweet home Croydonia comes in...
