London Poker Open

As you may already know, Londonist has a long and prestigious history as far as the game of poker is concerned… …Ok, we won a media tournament once, but we still think that gives us the right to report on the forthcoming London Poker Open …

An Apology

As a website that is sometimes confused by those of little brain with an American product (yes we are part of the Gothamist network, no we are not an American website) we were amused yesterday to see that some of the worst home-grown telly ideas …

“You’re a jerk … jerk … you’re a jerk”

Tom Cruise takes an unexpected ejaculation right in the face? Normally the Londonist team of lawyers wouldn’t even let us get near to typing those words but today, thanks to Channel 4, we are free to make as many childish double entendres about the dimunitive …

I Love London Me…Now Go See My Film.

Support Grows For South Bank Beach

Celebrities and “leading figures from the worlds of culture, tourism and the media” are flocking to support the plans to install a beach by the London Eye this summer, the Standard gushes. Of course, you heard it here first, but now that the likes of …

London Grand Prix: Actually Happening?

OK – we admit it – we were had. Pitpass.com’s April Fool story completely…well, fooled us. In our defence it was pretty early in the morning and we were a bit overexcited about the thought of celebrities in Minis! The website Pitpass.com (not a site …

Piers Morgan Is In Newspapers

The Mail began serialising Piers Morgan’s ‘secret diary’ yesterday (couldn’t they have called it something other than a ‘secret diary’ it makes Morgan sound like a nine-year-old schoolgirl), so we thought we’d take a look and see what the broadhseets are saying about the book, …
