If you were wandering round Bankside on Saturday night you might have been bemused to see words appearing on the facade of Tate Modern and wondering if someone spiked your drink. But there was nothing to fear as it was just MC Yan, who rocked China by being the first to use Chinese characters in his graffiti, bringing Laser tagging, the new, high-tech future of graffiti, to London. Part of the Red Mansion Foundation's Down......

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......

Composer Alvin Curran and the London Symphony Orchestra will be performing Maritime Rites on the banks of the Thames outside Tate Modern and on a barge on the water itself this Friday evening. Described as a sound sculpture, Maritime Rites is a semi-improvised live event that incorporates the bells of St Pauls, the sound of traffic on the river and music associated with the Thames.

Congratulations to the winning team, who went by the less-than-tasteful name 'The Marchioness'. There they are, to the right, waving their arms like gibbons.......

Two views of Downing Street, 1926 and 2007. It's part of the amazing work being done by the Flickr group 'Wonderful London', who seek to recreate all the panels from the book of the same name by St John Adcock (1926/7). This particular pairing was made by group admin Simon Rigglesworth, who thanks a 'PC Luton' for providing access. Prime-ministers come and go (eventually), yet the little street rarely changes. Thanks to the protection......

Is Janet Street-Porter doing a Jade? Merton care homes have come under fire. A wii console has been put in Leicester Square. How long till it gets vandalised? The Office for National Statistics has annouced it is to leave London by 2010. And finally Kate Moss went to a lot of bars and got wasted last night for her birthday. Photo taken from Simon Rigglesworth's photostream.......
