We’re not going to lie: It was the panda and its gratuitous cuteness that drew us in. The curators of Endangered Wildlife Exposed were no doubt banking on that reaction when choosing an image to promote the Roger Hooper exhibit at Oxo Gallery. With their large heads, big bellies, the appearance of wide eyes, and their tendency to toddle about, pandas are said to bear (heh) enough similarities to human babies that our nurturing......

A series celebrating the talent of our friends over in the Londonist Flickr pool who make our site look pretty with their fabulous photographs. Here, they introduce themselves and share their favourite London shots. I spotted this on a walk around parts of the Olympic regeneration area in Newham and Hackney last year, initially drawn to the colours and angles of the signs combined with all the reds and lines of the bricks, but the......

We're a website of London obsessives so it's always a pleasure to encounter other obsessives to make ourselves feel less geeky and single-minded. The London Bananas project did that for us today. A newcomer to London, the first thing this fruit focused photographer noticed about our fair city was banana skins everywhere. They started documenting them to prove this fact and put the photos online. They're a strangely compelling series; neglected, discarded or decaying......

A series celebrating the talent of our friends over in the Londonist Flickr pool who make our site look pretty with their fabulous photographs. Here, they introduce themselves and share their favourite London shots. Silvertown Sunset, one of my favourite shots taken in Royal Victoria Docks. I moved to Sutton, London’s forgotten borough four years ago to be closer to work. Sutton has a bit of a personality crisis in as much it has a......

Bush Protest, Parliament Square courtesy of randydandy via the Londonist Flickr pool Following on from our weekend report on the anti-George Bush protests in Parliament Square on Sunday a whole crop of photos have been posted in the Londonist Flickr pool capturing the passion behind the protest and the frankly alarming flashpoint as police barricaded Whitehall. Courtesy of Simon Rigglesworth via the Londonist Flickr pool 25 arrests were reported as allegations of heavy handed policing......

By Simon-K via the Londonist Flickr pool Saturday saw the streets of London awash with naked, semi naked, costumed and painted people on bicycles for World Naked Bike Ride Day. By randydandy via the Londonist Flickr pool What's it all about? "A peaceful, imaginative and fun protest against oil dependency and car culture. A celebration of the bicycle and also a celebration of the power and individuality of the human body. A symbol of the......

That above is some of the finest onion bhajia that Londonist has eaten. Instead of a dense blob of onion stodge, these were light shreds of onion coated in a gram flour batter and then deep fried. These were eaten at the Mirch Masala in Southall, though they have other branches across London. The Karahi fish tikka masala was recommended to us by the waiter and featured lots of fish in plenty of spicy......

We love our Flickr friends, we really do. Where would we be without our obliging and outrageously talented photographer friends happy to share their work with us in the Londonist Flickr pool and be sent off on snap happy adventures once in a while? How marvellous then to see one of ours making good. Chutney Bannister's been a Londonist stalwart for some time and was one of our earliest Londonist Behind The Lens-ers. He's......

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. Teams of amateur flying enthusiasts build ridiculously unaerodynamic contraptions and throw themselves off a platform into the Serpentine. Check out the results here. Thanks to nickstone333 and cherbert for the great photos. The Royal Swan taking off courtesy of......

Image courtesy of randydandy via the Londonist Flickr pool Right, so Gothamist isn’t returning our phone calls, and we can only assume that they’re not going to take us up on our Telectroscope dance challenge. Chickens. Dance-off or not, we wanted to check out the Telectroscope for ourselves. Would it be awkward to stand there gaping at people on the other end? Is it worth leaving behind the webcam and the comfort of our......

Much as we love digital photography - heck, we regularly feature the work of our Flickrpool snappers - there's something about the fading world of film photography that still appeals. The people at Lomography agree, and this week sees the Photographer's Gallery play host to London Lomography Thursday. Lomography is the art of using old, Russian-built cameras to take photos in an endearingly spontaneous and creative way. The movement began in the Nineties, when......

Amnesty International today recreated the iconic ‘tank man’ image, of a lone demonstrator - here, survivor Shao Jiang - facing down tanks at Tiananmen Square, outside Amnesty’s London headquarters in the run up to the 19th anniversary of the 1989 crackdown against pro-democracy protesters in Beijing. We sent along one of our Londonist Flickr Pool photographers, Simon Rigglesworth and you can see his full set of pictures here. Tomorrow at 6pm there will be......

A series celebrating the talent of our friends over in the Londonist Flickr pool who make our site look pretty with their fabulous photographs. Here, they introduce themselves and share their favourite London shots. Since I picked up a camera, I have always thought photography was easy. Everything is in front of you and all that needs to happen is that you press the shutter release button. London is busy and it's easier to run......

Cellist As the more literary-minded of you may have guessed, Simon Crubellier is a pseudonym, necessitated by the fact that I share my name with a much better-known, and indeed much better, photographer. I came pretty late to photography, but I've......

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? Thankfully, as these beautiful shots testify, there is plenty of colour to go round too. Lupins It was celebrity day yesterday and jolly gala evening last night. Ringo Star turned up to check out George Harrison's life story garden (pictured below) and Brian May......

Some Routemasters just don't know when to retire. While Boris considers his pledge to resurrect a modernised Routemaster, the original omnibus gets an artistic outing at the London Transport Museum. The double-decker is celebrated in a photographic exhibition by Ralf Obergfell, a German-born artist with a deep affection for the curtailed London icon. Last Stop opened this weekend and runs till 27 July. Meanwhile, Travis Elborough, author of The Bus We Loved, will give a......

Here, they introduce themselves and share their favourite London shots. This picture was taken in July 2006, just over a year before the New Piccadilly café closed. I was hovering outside taking the picture, when the owner Lorenzo Marioni burst out of the door, and surveyed Denman Street as if he......
