Here at Londonist, we aren't too shy to admit our love for sweets. But that love apparently doesn't hold a candle to the dedication of food artist Prudence Emma Staite. To celebrate the return of blue Smarties, Staite has re-imagined famous works of art with Smarties as her chosen medium. The collection, including Warhol's Marilyn Monroe, Seurat's Bathers, and Banksy's Chalk Farm Maid, is currently on display at the V&A Museum of Childhood in......

Size really is everything to Willard Wigan. Using an intricate surgical blade and an eyelash for a paintbrush he sculpts minute, marvellous, teeny weeny things. One such, his piece de resistance, is an incredibly detailed replica of the famous Lloyds Building sculpted on a pinhead. A pinhead! Imagine that. While you're there, imagine a Scotty dog in a grain of sand, Marilyn Monroe the size of a microdot and the Statue of Liberty in......

Ever been shopping and spent a huge amount of money on something you'll probably never wear? One buyer was a bit more canny, and spent near £1 million at Christie's on that black dress that Audrey Hepburn wears in Breakfast at Tiffany's. And they did it in the name of charidee, with the proceeds going to the City of Joy Aid. The organisation builds schools for the poorer communities in India. Founder Dominic Lapierre......

You may have tripped over and fallen into it once, you may have been wandering by and thought "ooh, I bet that place would be good for an outdoor film screening in the summer." And you wouldn't be the only one... The Scoop is the sunken amphitheatre situated next to City Hall and looks a lot like a set of curved stairs leading down to a level, empty space. It is the More London......

Readers of a certain age will fondly remember the 6pm slot on BBC2 which for a time during the late seventies and early eighties was the best place to catch Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes as well as Charlie Chan and old Republic serials such as King of the Rocket Men and Buster Crabbe in Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers. It was also the home to The Water Margin and Monkey and old black......

There’s a queue, so we walk to up to the man wearing a fez who seems to be in charge of proceedings and ask if we have to buy a ticket. “No, it’s free,” he replies, handing a postcard of Kate Moss à la Andy Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe to a passer-by, ‘like all good art should be,’ he adds gravely, giving a curt nod, the tassel on his fez jumping. We join the queue,......

Why is there so much evil in the world? It's at times like this that Londonist wishes one of its posting categories was "Examples of unforgivable stupidity". The idea was pointless enough in the first place: to immortalise UK and Commonwealth stars in a "Hollywood-style walk of fame". Why, exactly, does London need this? Will it sway more visitors to come to the capital? Of course not. Will it boost local business? Unlikely. Is......

Just a couple of exhibitions we were meant to tell you about at the end of last week and completely forgot about for obvious reasons. The first is the fantastic World's Most Photographed at the National Portrait Gallery. This started last week and it's only £4 to get in so it's well worth it, if only becasue you've got the BBC and the NPG joining forces to present some truly iconic images, so you......
