Thrill-seekers, take note: the once destitute, now awesome O2 arena wants to become even more awesome. Since the Dome’s rebirth nearly a year ago, its owners have no doubt managed to squeeze a pretty penny or two out of the O2’s interior – what with all the purple rain, wannabes, and whole lotta love seen within its walls. And although Michael Jackson’s month-long moonwalk has yet to be confirmed, you might someday have the......

Mere days after warning us about 'white flight' and the perils of living in modern London, scribes at the Telegraph have had a volte-face, and declared their love for our flawed yet fantastic city with a special report on the top 10 property hotspots for 2008. First up on the list: well, colour us a shade of surprised blue - the Telegraph's only singled out the borough of Kensington and Chelsea, home to Notting......

When it comes to major American pop stars fetching up in our lovely city, Londonist sometimes thinks that the Eighties never ended. Following Madonna's permanent move here, and Prince's celebrated 21 shows last year, the third in the triumvirate of pop megastars from the Decade That Style Forgot is to join them - Michael Jackson is reportedly coming to town, and he'll be on a nice little earner if he does. Like Prince, Jackson......

Antony Gormley continues his conquest of our town with this, his first piece of artwork in the City of London. 'Resolution' can be found on the corner of Shoe Lane and St Bride Street - an area surrounded by construction work. Gormley describes the piece: "Seen from afar it looks like a man, from close up it looks like a city. It is wonderful to be able to site a work that interacts with......

Oh dear! There’ll be trouble in the Square tonight. Trafalgar, that is, not Albert. There’s a new kid on the block – and he’s (er, literally) dead creepy. Anubis, ancient Egyptian god of all things dead and deadly, has come to town. He’s attached to the O2 marketing team, and he’s been plonked next to Nelson to promote the forthcoming Tutankhamun expo at the dome. We don’t think Mayor Livingstone will be too pleased about......

Off to see Timberlake at the new-look Dome tonight? Make sure you don’t get the wrong venue. The Greenwich attraction isn’t the only O2 in town… The O2, Greenwich Peninsula Function: Entertainment venue, including stadium, 11-screen cinema and exhibition space. Includes Justin Timberlake. Age: 7.5 years. Opened at the end of 1999 as the Millennium Dome, now recalled to life as the O2. Capacity: 20,000 in the main arena. Size: 365 m diameter and the......

With the Millennium and all its bugs naught but a distant memory the Greenwich Peninsula has lain fairly industrially desolate and half done for years, known mainly for the white elephant Dome, the sickly smell of the Tate & Lyle processing plant and the arse end of the Blackwall Tunnel. Life is stirring in North Greenwich though and today saw the grand opening of Peninsula Square, the gateway to the finally reappropriated and rebranded......

Well, the big man’s in town – over thirty times – so we thought it apt to track down his other work in the capital. On the map at the bottom, green points indicate temporary installations that form the Event Horizon project, and purple markers are permanent pieces that predate this show. 1. Quantum Cloud, Greenwich Peninsula Did you know that London contains a Gormley sculpture taller than the Angel of the North? Quantum Cloud......

Who says London's venues are going down hill? We found this alluring example on the Greenwich Peninsula (again), but somehow resisted the temptation to go in.......

The Thames Path around the Greenwich Peninsula is a happy hunting ground for graffiti. From flamboyant spray art of the type Hugo Martinez would approve, right through to ham-fisted punning such as this. But what we love most about this warning sign is that the defacer has taken the trouble to use a stencil, rather than simply scrawling with a pen. Perhaps it's something to do with the Sultana's Elephant.......

We know exactly where this is, having coincidentally walked past the same spot last weekend. The fallen silos can be found on the Thames path along the western side of the Greenwich Peninsula. And this image can be found, with others of the area, on the photostream of magically named 'only because mushroom asked me to'.......

The Olympics. Tired of all the naysaying and doom-mongery? Here's a site that's sure to include more positive spin than a world-class discus throw: the official 2012 Olympics blog. No half-baked observations about office life or photos of cute kittens here. Oh no. This is quite a differnt calibre of freshman blogger: I met HRH the Duchess of Cornwall who was visiting to site to find out more about the venue. She arrived at......

It’s not often we feel the need to applaud a lawyer, but Lewis Pugh will deserve a pat on his sodden, algae-plastered back if he successfully swims the entire length of the Thames over the next few weeks. Mr Pugh, a veteran long-distance swimmer, is attempting the insane journey to raise awareness of environmental issues. Speaking of global warming, he commented: I'm hoping my swim down the River Thames will bring the message home......

You know it’s time to think about moving when even the local birds have CCTV installed. That’s what’s happening on one Tower Hamlets residential block, opposite the Greenwich Peninsula. Cameras have been fitted atop the tower to protect a family of peregrine falcons. The birds have been nesting at the site for half a decade, and it’s feared their eggs may have been stolen in previous breeding seasons. We're not too sure but we......
