From the Archives

A year ago today we related the tale of the Colney Hatch fire. It's the worst fire, in terms of fatalities, in London's recorded history, and yet very few people have heard of it. If you don't know the story, take a few minutes to read about the 52 people who lost their lives in north London, only to be utterly forgotten.

London Connection Puzzle

Oh dear, oh dear. Seems we made this week's puzzle too easy. A couple of dozen people emailed in with the correct solution from just the clues 38 and 24. Today's additional clue is 11. If you have the solution, don't email in as we have a winner. Final clue tomorrow.

London Weather by Inclement Attlee

Weather: Imagine if Andy Gray hosted a marathon screening of Grey's Anatomy in Gray's Inn, and invited David Gray, Linda Gray and Macy Gray, serving them all Earl Grey tea, and obliging them to wear grey clothes and chant a mantra of Grey! Grey! Grey! You then have some just notion of quite how grey it will be today.

Would you like to forecast the Londonist weather? I'll be away for the start of next week, so we'll need accurate and in-no-way-silly forecasts for London on Monday and Tuesday. Fancy having a go? Rather than typing out some words, you should draw, paint, or photograph your forecast (or perhaps craft it from leftover vegetables or Lego bricks) and send it to hello@londonist.com (subject line: 'Attlee's minion').
