A week after opening for the Queen, St Pancras International is finally ready for the likes of us. The station has been restored beyond its former glory. Britain's answer to Central Station is ready for business. Everyone knows by now that the sumptious Euston Road frontage to the station was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott. But what else in London did the Great Scott design? Time to dust off our old 'Stalks' series,......

We like a funny story on Londonist, and this has had us tittering into our tea mugs all day. One David Gay, of Finsbury Park, is up in the dock accused of using stealth cameras to film up ladies’ skirts. Voyeurs are of course fundamentally pretty sad creatures, and the idea that someone has the power to see into areas which are private or sacred to another individual is, frankly, dead creepy. Clearly this guy......

Londonist was awfully tickled to learn of the launch of London’s very own ‘Starmap’. From this day forward, for the price of £5.95, eager tourists and starry-eyed Londoners will be able to follow in the footsteps of their fave ‘A’ list celebrities. Not only can they stalk them at home, but they can hang out, paparazzi style at the right bars and restaurants to star spot, and even re-enact bestest bits from London movies on......

Well, the big man’s in town – over thirty times – so we thought it apt to track down his other work in the capital. On the map at the bottom, green points indicate temporary installations that form the Event Horizon project, and purple markers are permanent pieces that predate this show. 1. Quantum Cloud, Greenwich Peninsula Did you know that London contains a Gormley sculpture taller than the Angel of the North? Quantum Cloud......

The tragic tale of poisoned ex-spy Alexander Litvinenko continues to take many twists and turns. At the latest count, 12 London locations have tested positive for polonium, and are known to have been visited by Litvinenko and his associates. We've mapped the 11 that have been disclosed, plus Mr Litvinenko's final resting place, below.......

Pounding the streets of London in search of obscure buildings and forgotten sculptures is far too much like hard work with the current sticky weather. So we thought we’d put together a Stalk from the comfort of the couch. Purely as a bit of fun. So, here’s our stalk of Dr Who. Who Lives Where? When he’s not living in the Tardis, the Doctor might be found at a number of addresses in and around......

Charles Holden (1875-1960) is a man with two careers. On the one hand, he gave us impressive Portland stone giants like the Senate House and 55 Broadway – two of London’s tallest buildings in their day. But the same chap also masterminded the design of 20 or so tube stations – those elegant brown brick affairs best seen on the northern stretch of the Piccadilly Line. These in particular show off Holden’s principles of......

Long-time readers of Londonist will know that we’ve got a slightly unhealthy obsession with late sculptor Sir Eduardo Paolozzi. You know, the guy who gave us the TCR Tube mosaics and the statue of Newton outside the British Library. Many moons ago, we kicked off our Londonist Stalks… series by hunting down all his public works of art in London. And he’s since become something of a hero to us. Next month, we’ll be......

OK, OK, we know most of you will be sick of reading about Hawksmoor. But Londonist are completer-finisher types, and after stalking so many lesser London luminaries we feel obliged to tackle the great church-building, conspiracy-generating architect. There must be some readers out there who haven’t read Iain Sinclair’s trademark lucidity-shy ramblings on how Hawksmoor’s six churches align with other sites of dubious significance to form a pretty pattern. Or Peter Ackroyd’s erudite reinterpretation......

Normally when Londonist goes stalking, it’s to track down connected works of art, or famous buildings by the same architect. But we decided to take the word ‘stalk’ back to its hunting routes this week. Prompted by the news that the Beast of Bexley has at last been photographed, we thought we should go and bag ourselves a wild cat. Big cat sightings are not unusual in the UK. Although their existence in the......

There can be few buildings in Europe to match the splendor of the Palace of Westminster. Millions of tourists, some of them off-worlders, flock to the landmark each year, even if few actually enter. But a couple of weeks back (and sorry to keep going on about it) Londonist did just that. Our tour of the houses of parliament inspired us to find out more about the architect, Charles Barry. Was this his only......

All the works featured in this stalk are also mapped on Platial. US-born Jacob Epstein (1880-1959) is a colossal figure in 20th Century sculpture. Controversial could almost be his middle name. His various works around London caused outrage in their day, but are now in danger of being forgotten. Perhaps his most powerful work on show in the capital is ‘Jacob and the Angel’ underneath the central dome of Tate Britain. Being indoors, this......

After spending last week photographing dead presidents, we thought it only decent to turn our services to former British prime ministers. The Parliament Square Collection Dead monarchs have Westminster Abbey; prime ministers have Parliament Square. There’s six of the blighters here, with a seventh – David Lloyd George – in the works if funding can be raised. Canning by Richard Westmacott (1832); Peel by Matthew Noble (1851); Lord Derby also by Noble (1874); Palmerston......

That’s right. This week we decided to track down the Leader of the Free World. He might sit in the oval office but, when in London, it seems that he prefers to hang out in squares… FDR, Grosvenor Square You can’t sit comfortably in Grosvenor Square. Armed guards doggedly patrol the Western end, protecting the US embassy. The giant gilt eagle nesting atop this concrete cliff adds another layer of menace. And then there’s its......

All the places featured in this Stalk are now mapped on Platial. You may remember we recently tracked down all the London-based work of Eduardo Paolozzi. This time, we took the logical step of pursuing his contemporary Enzo Plazotta. Eduardo Paolozzi… Enzo Plazzotta. You could be forgiven for confusing the two, particularly given that they were both British artists of Italian origin. Their works are very different, however. Whereas Paolozzi meshed and mashed man with......

And, by God, did he get around. Stalking Paolozzi was a piece of cake in comparison. The map above is our stab at showing all Dickens’ London addresses. But sources conflict, and there’s bound to be a few missing. During his childhood, Dickens hopped from home to home as his father tried to dodge the debt collectors. Following in his footsteps, we similarly hopped from one location to the next, though largely on account......

All the places featured in this Stalk are now mapped on Platial. Once in a blue Monday, Editro gives us, the grovelling unpaid writers of Londonist, permission to leave our desks and get some fresh air. But only if we get up to some London-based mischief. Our latest nefarious task, should we choose to accept it - and we do - is to cover the length and breadth of the town, stalking famous Londoners.......
