A series celebrating the talent of our friends over in the Londonist Flickr pool who make our site look pretty with their fabulous photographs. Here, they introduce themselves and share their favourite London shots. Tower Bridge - Although I have done quite a lot of processing on this, I really wanted to get an un-cliched image of an icon that's been done to death. It was also a really weird light that day, which has......

When Lisa Connell hit the local press last month we were impressed by her spirited determination and charitable entrepreneurship in the face of personal adversity. We caught up with her this weekend to find out how the fundraising's going, whether there's been any naughty business yet and just where should you take Barnet's finest once you've bid her up? So, how’s the dating going? Well its still in the early stages. I’ve managed to......

We're not sure if you've noticed (probably not, you're no doubt more interested in FILMS or THEATRE or POLITICS and all that rubbish, well it's your loss, because as any fule knos, SPORT is really IMPORTANT) but we are actually very poor at predicting the results for the Premiership's London clubs evey weekend. We've been compiling the stats (stats are IMPORTANT as well), and it appears that we have a success rate of 37.5%.......

Discovering KEXP last year was like discovering Back In Black, for me the album that pretty much cemented everything I'll love about music for the rest of my life. Suddenly there was this doorway to a magical world where DJs played whatever they wanted and whatever you wanted to listen to, where they knew what they were talking about and where they had this strange passion for not what the industry or the scenesters......
