  • A 29-year-old father of two has been shot dead in Chalk Hill, Wembley as he was taking his children to school.
  • The man who climed the Eye yesterday was finally talked down after seven hours and promptly arrested.
  • The winning image in the Nokia Citizen Journalism Awards 2006 is a shot of the No.30 bus in Tavistock Square taken just after the explosion on 7th July.
  • Prince Charles opened the Jameel Gallery of Islamic Art at the V & A yesterday, and the world's oldest dated carpet is among the highlights.
  • The tailors are fleeing Savile Row as the rents are getting too high.
  • The Chutney Hut in Hanwell, London has become the latest site to be duped by the so-called Time Out fraudsters in as many weeks (they pretend to the magazine's restaurant critics conducting a review...it's the perfect crime!).
