Help is on the way for those affected by the fire in Camden Market. Thus far, £750,000 has been allocated to help rebuild the charred Canal Market. This is great news for the 90 market stalls, six shops, and the Hawley Arms, which were all damaged in the canal-side inferno. The London Development Agency has set aside £250,000 in a recovery fund for business grants and promtion to get tourist traffic back to Camden......

After the previous evening’s blaze, which took 100 firefighters to bring under control, Camden Town was open again on Sunday, with obvious exceptions. An area either side of Regent’s Canal was closed to the public as cleanup continued in preparation for an investigation into the cause of the fire, which severely damaged the Canal Market and the Hawley Arms pub. Nonetheless, the markets were still busy as people came to gawp and shop (maybe......

The Germaniaxx Isn't the weather glorious? Stand in the sunshine and it's definitely spring. This makes us happy! This means that we can walk in the park and get about town and not feel miserably wintry and therefore desperate to waste our hard earned on firelit pubs and woolly accessory buying. Well, not quite so much. We are, however, saving up our cash to spend on Creme Eggs and the rebuild Camden Market fund so......

Reginald Perrin rides again. A canoeist who vanished 5 years ago has surfaced alive and well. Car free London = care free. And popular apparently. Sporty Londonist readers should check out the London Sports Awards. Dial-a-parking-space out of order. Temporarily. Celebrities are worried about Camden Market. The internet is a wonderful thing, but apparently not for matters of the heart. Rail IS getting exciting. Now they are planning trains from Heathrow to Paris. Singers......

"En 10 años de servicio nunca he visto una tontería igual." - In ten years of service, never have I seen such foolishness. So said the local policeman last Sunday at Madrid's Londonize event. Of course, every London market has Beefeaters in full costume guarding the gates and every stallholder is happy to haggle in exaggerated cockney accents with each customer. This applies only to every London market in Madrid. At Londonize, Madrileños were......

Who do you think will win then, Badger or Michelle? We'll find out who Sir Alan Sugar will be poking his digit at for the last time tonight at 9pm on BBC 2, as the second series of The Apprentice reaches it's conclusion. London's representative in the series (Ansell grew up sarf of the rivah, but has since decamped to 'London-on-sea') crashed out in episode 4, after a nasty experience with chickens, pizza and......

There's the rest of today, all of tomorrow and all of Saturday. That's a little over two days to brace yourself and exercise your mental defences. When the clock strikes midnight and it officially becomes Sunday 26th March... that's it. It's going to be Mother's Day. Aren't mums lovely? That special lady who brought you into the world and looked after you, stayed up all night worrying and watching over you when you were......

Common sense prevailed today when Londonist's favourite mulletted-twat-punching Deputy Prime Minster John Prescott announced that the plans put forward by London Underground for redevelopment of Camden Town tube station (which would have meant the demolition of Camden Market and the Electric Ballroom) would be refused permission to go ahead. The decision follows an appeal by London Underground against Camden Council's eminently-sensible reaction to the plans in 2003. The report in the Evil Standard said......

Oh dear, it's getting desperate already - today's Independent carries an article listing "20 reasons why London is the winner over Paris". Of course, this is ostensibly an article about that great sporting insitution, and symbol of all that is great and noble in the human spirt: the Olympics...but really it's just an excuse to have a go at the French. Take, for example, point number 5 on the list: "Jermyn Street:: Buy the......

Chris Evans, jaded, ginger TV presenter and fulltime babysitter, is to flog a load of his old posessions from a shop in Camden Market. "He basically approached us and said he's sold three of his houses and was tired of putting his furniture in storage, he likes the vibe of the market and remembers when he traded here in a street stall 15 years ago and wants to come back," the manager of Stables Market......
