Weekend Round-Up

Here's what we've learned this weekend whilst you've been gently defrosting:

There's a bit of a hou-ha on Hampstead Heath over vehicular access.

Thunderbirds away: there's a load of memorabilia coming up for sale.

2013: a company is set up to deal with the aftermath.

Boris has waded into the golliwog row.

A man has been shot dead in North London.

Tower Hamlets have paid out £20,000 to a man distressed over parking tickets.

Balham residents were evacuated over night owing to a gas leak.

This is a bitch: they're fiddling with the A2 at Blackheath and there will be diversions for eight weeks.

Proof that fried chicken is bad for you: meet the Chicken Cottage Crew gang.
