Just a quick post to mention that, as of this morning, King’s Cross tube station is open for the Metropolitan, Northern and Victoria lines. The Circle, District and Hammersmith and City lines won’t be up an running “for a number of days” however, and service …
As London gets back into her groove, it has become time to get back to what we do best. For other Londonist writers, that would involve a weekend overdosing on zombie flicks, or maybe a trip to the opera, perhaps a brisk walk around some …
It seems faintly ridiculous to be posting about things like gigs right now, but we have to start some time. If you have plans to go to a gig in the next few days, clearly you should check that they’re going ahead. We’ll try and …
The Underground: Services should be running on most lines, but there are no services on the Hammersmith and City and Circle lines. District line will not run between High St Kensington and Edgware Road or to Olympia and its Wimbledon to High St Kensington service …
Superman had it all wrong: you don’t need x-ray vision and the ability to fly in order to save the world. All it takes these days is a wristband and a pair of pants. This weekend, as the Live 8 concert kicks off in Hyde …
It rained very heavily at Glastonbury last night, apparently, so our hearts go out to the Londonist staff camping out there. There is in no way a smirk on our face or any semblance of schadenfreude. Mwahahaha. Ahem. For the rest of us, there’s still …

Another park, another event. This time it’s Hyde Park, playing host to the start and finish of Moonwalk 2005 tomorrow night. No, it’s not everyone’s favourite non-kiddy-fiddling-freak-show’s new hideaway, it’s an event in which 15,000 women and men walk 26.2 miles (that’s a Snickers to …
It is finally summer, although Londonist knows this only because of the calendar date and not the weather. Summer means gleaming white bodies attempting to tan in Hyde Park, drinking large glasses of Pimm’s, and above all it means seeing opera and ballet for free …
Something’s changing in Londonist Towers. Something’s in the air. Perhaps it’s a subtle shift in the midichlorians, perhaps it’s that there’s a new Turin Brakes album out but we’re beginning to stockpile bottles of Tequila and Rizla papers and trying to find the number of …
Nothing quite says “tragic beauty” like a spot of aggregate, and no colour is quite so regal as “greygreen”. Yes folks, the Princess Diana Memorial Storm Sewer is in the headlines again. You may remember the fountain; it’s been “troubled”, as sub-editors say when asked …
