Apparently there’s some tennis going on in London… Ahh yes well Tim Henman just lost again so it must be Wimbledon. Very well organised we hear, administration second to none. What? Tennis players you say? We don’t really do those… unless you count Henman. Let’s …
So Prince William graduates and gets some initials after his name to match the ones at the front – must be nicer than some of the four letter words we like to throw at him and his family of leaches. Back off Royalists – we’re …
We love a home grown success story here at Londonist and this is a doozy. Take two plucky Brits, some video equipment, a paltry budget (begged, borrowed but probably not stolen) and drop them in a war zone to find something uplifting in the mess …

The War on Hoodies intensified this week. After losing the Battle of Bluewater, the shadowy forces of maleficence have regrouped to score a minor victory over DHL. Reports from the front line suggest that the delivery firm has been sorely routed in parts of London, …
