Some numbers and a helpful photo to start the week...
11 Londonistas and Londonist readers are raising money for Maggie's Cancer Care Centres
5 nights from now
20 miles on the route, to be walked overnight
2,500 pound fundraising target
1,181 pounds raised so far
Which means there's still £1,319.00 to go. Give, people, give! To illustrate the cause, and the walking event raising money for it, we give you photo no. 1,319 in the Londonist Flickr pool as taken by bethyb. Team Londonist will NOT be taking a cab at any point during the event.
This Week In London’s History
Random London Quote Of The Week
The way was long and weary,
But gallantly they strode,
A country lad and lassie,
Along the heavy road!
The night was dark and stormy,
But blithe of heart were they,
For shining in the distance,
The lights of London lay!
O gleaming lights of London,
That gem of the city’s crown,
What fortunes be within you,
O Lights of London Town!
George Robert Sims, Lights of London
