We're considering giving our notice at Londonist Towers and upping sticks for a new home. Specifically, we want to move into Jean Prouvé's Maison Tropicale. The prefabricated bungalow, standing on the front lawn outside Tate Modern, is in London as part of the excellent Prouvé retrospective at the Design Museum.

The boys are back in town. IOC bods are in London for a few days to check on Olympic progress. Everyone on best behaviour, please. Meanwhile, the Telegraph reports accusations (from France, of course) that at least six IOC members were bribed during the bidding process.
