We love our Flickr friends, we really do.

The E4 Evel Knieval flying machine courtesy of nickstone333's Flickrstream This weekend saw the 2nd annual fest of flying and silliness that is the Red Bull Flugtag in Hyde Park... well, in the Serpentine, more like.

Two pink ladies admire their flower arrangements According to Alan Titchmarsh this evening, the big thing at this year's show for gardens is green. Lots of green. Who'd have thought it?

Here at Londonist we love to indulge in all sorts of devilishly scrumptious treats. However, we know healthy, conscientious eating is the key to a happy life. Okay office rats.

Odds are you don’t and that’s where Fruit for the......

Head to Café Ciao with its range of gelati displayed and giant plastic ice cream outside. Their dessert menu is full of concoctions like these pictured but if sweet treats aren't your thing, there's a menu of savouries though we haven't visited......

Well, you could try asking that question at the European Feminist Summit, but we would advise against it. Part of the London Festival of Europe, the summit, titled The Future of European Feminism will discuss feminism in the 21st century, in the context of Europe, politics, art and media. With feminist blog The F......
