Londonist Loves… Cross Pollination

No, not more flowers. In what we hope is the first of many excursions to the side of the Internet that is eight hours in the past we managed to sneak a story up on SFist earlier today. The story concerns Flickr and perhaps sordid …

Taking The Mic

Wi-fi is a marvellous thing. It allows all our dear readers, who we imagine are sophisticated early-adopter types who swan around with the latest PalmOne, Pocket PC or PowerBook, to read Londonist in whatever part of London is trendy today. But Wi-fi has a dark …

Competition Winner

The free Flickr Pro account was won by Joanna Hoy! The Londonist team would like to offer their congratulations to Joanna and commiserations to all the others who entered the competition. We look forward to seeing Joanna in the pool soon. We’ll have another competition …

Londonist Loves… Sharing

We awoke this morning to a little glimmer of gold hidden among the dirty rocks of viagra, penis extensions and offers of money from Nigeria that form the Londonist email folder. Flickr, one of our all time favourite online innovations, sent us the following happy …

Pinhole London

We like our photography here on Londonist. There’s the Flickr group of course (now with zombies!) and The Way We See It along with other sites we’ve mentioned in the past. Now we want to add another link after finding some beautiful London photography over …

In our new role as London Line contributors, we are in a position to let you know about the new paper’s photographic competition. Basically, each week the Line will be asking Londoners to send in their photographs of the city and the best one will …

Guerrilla Marketing Exposed

We here at the Londonist are never averse to a bit of guerrilla marketing, provided it’s done cleverly and unobtrusively. It warms our hipster hearts to see giant, faceless advertising firms reaching out to Da Kidz through subversive (and occasionally subliminal) means. However, we find …

Man Beheaded on Flickr

Thanks to the consistently brilliant Link Machine Go for pointing us in the direction of this strangely fascinating Flickr page. For whatever reason, someone calling himself DarrenS has decided to document the Evening Standard headline boards, and we have to admit it makes for compulsive …

Londonist Flickr Group – A Reminder

We have a Flickr Group you know, and it’s really good. Since its inception a month ago our little Flickr community has grown and grown and now has a very impressive 23 members who regularly submit their photographic take on the capital. The brilliant image …

Hurray For The London Eye

The London Eye has been voted the world’s “best tourist attraction”. Obviously we think that’s great. We love the Eye (we wouldn’t have put it in our logo if we didn’t) and about the only thing wrong with it is that designers David Marks and …

Londonist Goes Photo-mad

Londonist had a jaunt around Piccadilly and the Strand chasing the perfect photos for The Way We See It today, which was fun and frustrating all at the same time. Fun, because of the concept of the site (everyone has their own take on how …
