The empty glass building on Camden High Street by the lock will soon be filled, to mixed reactions from the locals. The news that the up-market, chain clothing store All Saints will soon be occupying the space left vacant by Fopp has worried nearby shop owners that Camden will soon be pushing out independent companies -- a fear supported by the H&M Divison that opened recently and the American Apparel planned for further down......

A 24 bus crashed into a bridge at 9am this morning on Prince of Wales Road NW5, injuring 6 people and wiping out its own roof. The bus was on diversion following the Camden Canal Market fire at the weekend. Other buses had been successfully centering themselves and passing unharmed beneath the arched bridge since the fire cut off access to Camden High Street. We wait to hear what on earth the driver was......

Jermyn Street Theatre is a tiny space. And when we say tiny, we mean tiny. We'd guess at 80-100 seats. And if you're over 5ft 10, you can forget about leg room for the evening. Luckily, Opera on the Run's delightfully light-hearted show, The Perfect Picnic should be more than enough to divert your ears and eyes away from any cramp forming in your legs. Recently-redundant David doesn't want to go the opera; he's......

Fed up of the froth, mirth and sentimentality of the Yuletide muzak yet? To bring you an antidote and alternative soundtrack for your Christmas holidays we caught up with the utterly charming Roi Robertson of Mechanical Cabaret over a sorbet and peppermint tea and ruminated on the band's latest single, pastoral London views and the fact that we've never seen him and Noel Fielding in the same room together... Who's in the band? I......

Advent is upon us. Hanukkah starts on Wednesday. Office parties are already everywhere. Tis the season to be jolly, jolly, jolly but we know this can be draining, emotionally and financially. Don't let the state of your wallet throw you over the edge. We can't afford to buy tickets to the BFI IMAX all-nighter next weekend and we're not allowed to enter our own competition. But we can do the following splendid things for......

Emma Hutchins' one woman show embodies its own ethos of "having it all". Written and performed by the woman herself, she rises to the occasion delivering 3 familiar yet absorbing Bridget Jones-esque monologues and throwing in some Japanese Butoh for good measure. Ambitious? Yes. Misguided? Certainly not. Butoh is a dance form where each move is initiated by emotional truth. Isobel's entrancing, effortful progress from prone to standing to intensely, baby pigeon steps forward......

Camden Fringe gig #3 finds us upstairs at the Liberties Bar for our first stand-up comedy show: Paul Kerensa with "Genesis". This is his first night of 6 at the Camden Fringe before he's off up to that other place, up there. No, not heaven. Edinburgh. As you might expect this is a comedy take on the many ludicrous stories in the first book of the Old Testament whilst pulling together comedy strands that......

Our first foray into the Camden Fringe was oddly reminiscent of our last Edinburgh experience. A rainy, busy street at 3pm in the afternoon, leading into a tiny, dark and terribly hot mini-theatre, beer in hand. If only there had been a street full of aspiring thesps flyering outside we could have sworn we'd been up there. But no. This is Camden and praise be, our first show was really very good. Room 110......

OK, so this is getting less daily as time goes on. That's because we need you, yes you, to tag more of your Flickr photos with 'Londonist'. Or send something in by email. Think about it. You get the glory of seeing your image on the biggest blog in the whole of the UK*. And then the joys of seeing literally hundreds** of people leave witty comments about your photographic prowess. You could be......

There are many very awful comedy clubs in London (see: Jongleurs Battersea, Jongleurs Camden, Jongleurs Bow) We begrudgingly admit that there is probably some sort of need for these banal stag-night magnet, "2-4-1 on bottles of carlsberg? Wahey! Let's get a bucket of spicy chicken wings and soak up the casual misogyny" temples of humour-barren shite, but don't dare invite us to come when there are a good deal of small clubs run by......

It's the ultimate nightmare for the dedicated tube reader: you find a seat, reach into your bag and discover to your horror that you've gone and left your book on the kitchen table. Now you're going to have to repeatedly read the adverts for the next half-an-hour or (as a very last resort) glance at the abandoned copy of the Metro left on the seat next to you. As of this Friday however there......

As a bus driver in London there are many professional responsibilities one has to take on: customer relations, passenger safety, road etiquette and, erm...knowing the bus route. If a driver fails in just one of these areas then it can quickly lead to chaos, or as Mrs Taylor, from Highgate put it in today's Standard: "He knew he had gone wrong because the passengers were shouting at him." Mrs Taylor was one of the......
