"Too often new developments don't come with the services and infrastructure they need. Our policy would get new or expanded GP surgeries up and running to serve new developments, right from the moment the first homes are sold."
Greenwich Park has just introduced a new 'valley of blossom', planting 130 prunus 'sekiyama' cherry trees sourced straight from Japan. These new trees will tower above the park's existing cherry trees, growing to 12 metres high and 8m in spread.
These beautiful cherry trees are more than a visual delight - they represent a bond between nations, a gift to our local communities, and a lasting legacy. We know after our long winters, people rejoice seeing colour and blossom, and this sea of pink will be an awe-inspiring hit of horticultural wonder.
"Making the first-ever signature Sprite Sound is the type of artistic collaboration I love, since we both stand for empowering artists and authentic self-expression," Mustard said. "Sprite is iconic and a legend in music culture, and I made the new sonic identity to be intense, crisp and just as iconic as the brand."
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.
Fusion food has historically had a bit of a bad rap, with overly gimmicky dishes and unnecessary combinations turning diners off. However, when you drill down into what fusion actually is - blending together flavours, ingredients and techniques from different cuisines - it's something that a lot of chefs are doing all the time.
Shoreditch could see 30 aircraft hangars worth of commercial floorspace and hundreds of new homes under the major proposals to shake up local planning policies in the borough over the next 15 years, which the Labour-run council claims will bring over 11,000 new jobs to the creative and commercial district.
Last month, plans were submitted for Whitechapel Healthcare and Research Campus, a £750m development that would provide homes for key workers and supposedly address needs for more green spaces and community facilities. The proposal for the campus comes from investment firm BGO in collaboration with PLP Architecture and Barts Health NHS Trust. It's part of the newly announced Barts Life Science Cluster.
The Hackney Half is one of the most popular races in the city, which means getting a spot at the event is no easy feat. Good thing then that another half marathon will be hosted in east London this year. After the success of the Run Shoreditch 10K, the organisers (the very same behind the Hackney Half, the Oxford Half and the Saucony London 10K) are turning it onto a half distance race for 2026.
If built, the West London Orbital would link up parts of north and west London. By repurposing an old freight rail line that hasn't carried passengers since 1902, the new line would connect Hounslow to Hendon and West Hampstead via Old Oak Common. If approved, it would become the seventh branch of the Overground network.
