This semi-apocalyptic artwork from Bermondsey school children covers the hoardings around PriceWaTerHouseRaNdomCapsCooPer's new building, under construction at More London. The kids from St Michael's Catholic School don't need Photoshop to unleash seven shades of Hell on the capital. They've got paint brushes, and bags of imagination. Meteor strikes, a giant robot, TIE fighter attack and, um, a tightrope-walking Boris are just a few of their twisted visions for the Thames. See the archive of previous......

And you wouldn't be the only one... The Scoop is the sunken amphitheatre situated next to City Hall and looks a lot like a set of curved stairs leading down to a level, empty space. It is the More London......

You will be ex-ter-min-a-ted. That’s what Southwark Council and various pressure groups would like to say to the proposed Berkeley Homes development ‘twixt City Hall and Tower Bridge. But John ‘Girth’ Prescott has decided, as is his wont, to grant planning permission anyway.

London in it) section of riverside in SE1 has been playing host to a series of open air free movies for the last few weeks. We've seen most of the movies on offer more than a few times, but sitting in that amphitheatre is very cool on a night like this and tonight's movie is something......
