The DLR first opened in 1987, it had two lines: Red - Stratford to Island Gardens and Green - Tower Gateway to Island Gardens. Within just a few years, as the DLR extended out to Beckton and later Lewisham, they turned the whole map green.

The spa melds seamlessly with the caramel colours. Some serious brainpower went into its creation, having been developed in collaboration with Stockholm-based Raison d'Etre - aka the experts behind nine global spa brands, from Aman and Six Senses to Borgo Egnazia in Puglia and The Datai in Langkawi.

"We started Wild Cities because urban nature must be restored for people, for wildlife, and for the future. A coalition model lets us work at the scale the challenge demands, celebrating communities and helping people and ecosystems become more connected and resilient."

The Evening of Seafood will celebrate the best ocean produce with live demos, trader talks, oyster shucking and exclusive dishes, plus renowned restaurants operating on the Market floor.

"What we wanted to do was to make this about people. When I came into my role, it was exactly at the time that the pandemic began. We built a team, an idea, and a vision through remote work."

Hackney Art Week will take place from June 4 to 14, featuring 60 artists and creatives across 50 venues in the borough, including Dalston and Clapton.

Originally known as Sneads Court on John Rocque's map of London in 1746, the area was wider and more of a courtyard than an alley. Over time, it was renamed Hertford Place and later Yarmouth Mews as the neighborhood evolved into larger hotels and grand houses.

If you're an art deco architecture geek, you'll no doubt know all about Ibex House. The shimmering pale office building, which you'll find on the east side of the Minories in the City, is renowned for its long streamline moderne curves and mesmerising black-framed windows. The vast H-shaped structure is Grade II-listed and one of London's most remarkable surviving art deco buildings.

The road between Piccadilly Circus and St James's Park could be transformed into a massive public plaza and vehicles could be banned from Regent Street St James's, Waterloo Place and the south side of Piccadilly Circus. If the proposals are enacted, the pedestrianisation of certain roads would lead to more than 35,000 square metres of new public space, equivalent to more than five football pitches, created in the West End.

Fiona Twycross, the heritage minister, is to be congratulated for finally giving London's Southbank Centre Grade II listing (Campaigners welcome long overdue' listing of brutalist Southbank Centre, 10 February). I remember being shocked when I first saw it in the 1960s, but it has become a remarkable symbol of the zeitgeist. Its grey concrete and its childlike composition together express the fatalism and despair of a nation in economic and political decline.

Creating workplace facilities that reflect relevance to the constant evolving changes of working patterns. Organisations need to think about balancing flexibility with functionality by integrating technology that can simplify things without any complications, whilst designing spaces that are diverse when it comes to different working styles. As traditional office attendance makes make for hybrid models, facilities now need to reimagine their spaces as a purposeful destination rather than a default location.

American hotel chain MCR bought the spindly Fitzrovia superstar from BT Group for a cool £275 million. This was incredibly exciting news, as the former centre of the 'white heat of technology' (as then-Prime Minister Harold Wilson dubbed the communications centre upon its opening in 1964) had reduced public access after anarchist collective the Angry Brigade set off a bomb there in 1971.
