• Time to get your placards out: Camden’s famous snooker hall is threatened with closure, as is Docklands' City Pride pub.
• The Old Bailey has learned some new tricks: all sorts of extra goodies and historical trials are now available on-line.
• The people at Moorfields really are very clever: now they’re playing with gene therapy.
• Sex in a different City: the film is to premiere in London.
• Coldplay are nice people. Well, they’re playing a big gig in Brixton for free, and offering free downloads. These are the actions of nice people, we figure.
• Ominous or what? City Hall is closed due to flooding. Awash with despair, most likely.
