Existential crises seems to be a common theme for various London spots at the moment. With Tower Hamlets calling for Shoreditch station to be renamed Banglatown, Brent Council has decided to get in on the act: they're considering rebranding themselves as Wembley Council. With the council set to relocate to new offices next to the much praised stadium by 2012, Brent are contemplating a name change that reflects what they consider the area's most......

This is what we have learned this weekend while you were out looking for snow… Brent Council are gonna get tough on non-recyclers. Fake voddy hits the home counties.

Brent Council, in collusion with Diageo, the owners of Guinness, plan to clear the site for redevelopment. Whilst this is a valuable tactic to players of Sim City, in real life a full public consultation on the matter would seem in order. Skulking in an unspectacular Brent industrial estate, the buildings might not have......

It's bonfire night tomorrow: time to scare the pets, burn the traitor, eat sugar coated fruit on a stick and partake in some organised arson. Yay! Below we present our rough guide to bonfire nights across the capital: Clapham Common: One of the biggest, with 40,000 expected to turn up. The fireworks display is expensive and there'll be lots of ooohs and aaahs. Plenty of pubs in the vicinity so booze is easily available. Roundwood......
