A couple of weeks ago, we were approached by a PR company and invited to partake of a little paid blogging around the launch of a "SECRET THING". Now believe us, paid blogging is hard to come by, so our ears and empty pockets pricked up. However, the utmost secrecy around the THING put us off as we feared we'd be selling our souls for some corporate un-Londony puff and, ultimately, we were right. The......

Highly regarded cycle store Velorution has posted something bizarrely horrible and horribly bizarre on their widely-read Velorution cycling blog. It's a hard to follow rant that seems to be slamming immigrant communities for driving badly and not understanding cyclists, also slamming the traffic police for being from the Essex suburbs and not doing enough for those on two wheels. Trying to sum it up to save Londonist's lovely readers from wading through the original......

Words: useful little critters, no? Without them we’d be, well, a lot of things, but most certainly out of a job. From puns to poetry, improv to irony, books to blogs, we pretty much revel in all that language has to offer. But no, we will neither confirm nor deny reports that we’ve stayed home on a Friday night for a heated game of Scrabble. What we will confirm, however, is that we greet......

All that will change on Tuesday 29 January for this is the date scheduled for the London Bloggers Meet Up, kicking off at 7pm at the Camel and Artichoke pub in Waterloo. It's a good chance for a post-work drink and chat with fellow bloggers, and a rare opportunity to......

Just a quick shout-out to announce an upcoming bloggers get-together. The event takes place on 27 November at the Camel and Artichoke, Waterloo. It’s following that simple yet winning formula: get some interesting people in a pub and have some beers. Londonist will be there. The group is still fairly small, but keen to grow into a regular social for all us hard-grafting denizens of e-Grub Street. It’s organised by Dan Bower of We Love......
