Weekend Round-Up

Here's what we've learned this weekend whilst you've been contemplating your barbecue:

Luxury Croydon skunk pad. Probably now to let. Owners otherwise detained.

Happy news: the octagenarian lollipop dude who kept his job after a parent led campaign against Islington council.

Questions are being asked about a play on the subject of James Bulger's killers: it is scheduled to open soon at the Arcola.

Kensington has a new bishop.

A woman has been found stabbed to death at a property in Bow.

More questionable dealings by a London MP: this time it's Leyton and Wanstead's turn.

Clever London doctors have devised a heart repair kit for leaky valves. But that it were that easy for broken hearts.
