Every Sunday for the past nine weeks, Advice Booth has been open for business on Brick Lane. Questions ranging from the mundane ("why doesn’t he like me?") to the philosophical ("what is beauty?") will be answered in exchange for £1. Following an in-depth discussion, customers are given a lollipop and a typewritten piece of paper, outlining the advice. The Booth also has a refund policy, which means that if you are dissatisfied with the......

On Saturday we did something a little bit special. We held the first ever Londonist guided walk, and we're happy to report that it was something of a success. We and around thirty of the Londonist readers assembled in Hay's Galleria and fell into line under the guidance of Chris Roberts. We couldn't have been in better hands as Chris took us on a meandering two hour romp through London's history. Best of all......

A pet census (although we think they spoke to owners) shows that Londoners are the least likely to have a furry friend. Only 22% of us have pets!

The BlogAndMagosphere is currently replete with shoddily written articles about Christmas shopping. That these articles quote ‘starting budgets of £10 per gift’, makes us burn with festive brandy rage. At this time of year, most Londoners are either a Scrooge or a Bob Cratchit: that is, tight as a nat’s chuff or stone cold broke. And London is very expensive. How can we skimp a bit and still complete our gift buying at just £2......

"My name's John Constantine, and here I stay: haunted by London. And London, haunted by me." If you enjoyed the Buffy TV spin off Angel then you should go see Constantine as it plays a lot like an extended episode - better special effects but none of the laughs. More so, if you've never read Hellblazer, the comic book that the movie is loosely based on, then you're in for a treat. Keanu plays......
