Flaky homemade fisherman’s pie pasty for £2.50? Nice one.......

Quick-n-easy custard-filled Japanese pastries on Oxford Street (at Berwick)? Sounds yummy. Thanks.......

As promised, here's a video of our ride on the airship that's been (intermittently) flying across the capital since last Monday. Check out our picture post, and visit Star Over London for more details on how to book tickets. The first week has been beset by problems owing to the weather - the ship doesn't ride so well in rain or wind, two key ingredients for any British summer. We'll catch up with the......

Bush Protest, Parliament Square courtesy of randydandy via the Londonist Flickr pool Following on from our weekend report on the anti-George Bush protests in Parliament Square on Sunday a whole crop of photos have been posted in the Londonist Flickr pool capturing the passion behind the protest and the frankly alarming flashpoint as police barricaded Whitehall. Courtesy of Simon Rigglesworth via the Londonist Flickr pool 25 arrests were reported as allegations of heavy handed policing......

Tamil people in London have hit the news twice this week for very different reasons. Firstly, seems Croydon is in the grip of gang fear following a spate of violent clashes in recent years. Local police claim these Tamil gangs are "tooled up" and looking for trouble. On Monday 4 young Tamil men were found guilty at the Old Bailey for committing the so-called "Chicken Cottage murder" last year. The men denied all charges. At......

Those good people at Friction TV sent us this video of Saturday night's drinking party on the tube. Our Nice Liz's experience was "safe and fun". This footage shows another side to the evening. We didn't even make it onto the tube because we were tardy and the stations were shut by the time we rocked up with a bottle of wine and our party frocks. Were you there? What was your experience? embededPlayer(3231, 3546,......

This show, in a former light factory building located on the no-mans land between the City and Shoreditch/Hoxton, is an exhibition of video art and photographs by Ruth Hinkel-Pevzner. Yes, yes, we know, it sounds like an edgy, late 90s, East London Art cliché. Frankly, we weren't expecting to like this show. A significant amount of video art tends to be badly made short films excused by the 'art' tag. Yet, while the stills......

For those of you (like us) who just can't get enough of cute, cuddly little things, even if they look a bit like aliens, we introduce you to Conchita, a three-week-old white-naped mangabey monkey. This teeny-tiny, big-eyed, big-eared, pink-tongued furball is only the second mangabey ever born in the UK. Unfortunately, the species is seriously endangered in the wild. Delivered by emergency caesarean (yup, apparently they do that for monkeys), Conchita is being raised by......

OK, this Londonvidium lark is supposed to be a weekend feature. But this is so hilarious we just couldn't wait. A very clever bit of video editing courtesy of London Shite.......

Five minutes walk from Chalk Farm Tube station, or Kentish Town Overground if you dare, stands the 176 Gallery - a former Methodist church turned exhibition centre. The building is worth a trip in its own right, but make sure you get along in the next 24 hours to catch a psychogeographic video installation from Gerry Fox. Living London has been showing since late January, but reaches the end of its run on Sunday.......

T5 - the new Terminator sequel in which desperate humans do battle with out-of-control machines at Heathrow Airport. The sorry debacle is now enshrined in song, courtesy of Tom Soong, who wanted revenge on BA for losing his wedding clothes days before the ceremony. Warning - contains an image of an ass.......

A flashmob, nay Rickmob, singing a cheesy 80's pop song, bouncing off a recent internet fad, all filming one another, many wearing V for Vendetta masks, as recently sported at anti-Scientology gatherings, which were instigated by a You Tube video. We reckon London has just self-referenced itself up its own turd chute. Video by the rickrollerz.......

The Blond is immortalised in song, courtesy of MankiniMan.......

So we had Banksy caught in the act and unmasked a while back.... now here's a video apparently of the man himself at work and having his say: Thanks to Gothamist reader Sam Horine for the heads up.......

The London Nobody Knows, filmed in 1967, documented some of the less salubrious parts of swingin' London. In this clip, James Mason visits the site of a Ripper killing, at a time when some of the oldest residents still remembered the murders.......

The new Banksy work on Essex Road is proving rather popular, as this video from romanywg shows. The stencil is already protected by a perspex panel (not shown in the video), after a recent spate of Banksy maulings. Please send links to your favourite London videos, or ideas for videos to londonist - at - gmail - dot com.......

This is the final month of the Moore at Kew exhibition, the kind of attraction that "Don't Miss" columns were invented for. 28 monumental sculptors by Henry Moore are scattered throughout the grounds. Our very own Tiki Chris has recorded them in this video, with soundtrack by the pandas.......

Subtitled 'An ode to the Hawley Arms' this catchy tune by OllyTheOctopus speculates on the possible causes and fallout from the recent conflagration. How will Kate Moss cope with the loss, and will Quinn's down the road, cope with the load? Pertinent questions, but we're most tickled by the notion that 'Noel Fielding's impractical clothes, stopped him getting to the hose'. A work of minor genius.......

Londonist has had an astonishing flash of brilliance this weekend. It may not fundamentally improve the fabric of society, or save the planet. But it so neatly wraps up a number of pressing issues. We’re so chuffed we’re going to have an extra tofu muffin with our brunch. The idea is: GEESE. We’ve just been reading about these problem fowl in Chesham and the fact that they need to be relocated. And then there was......

101 reasons why cycling on the pavement should be encouraged. This one's perhaps a bit longer than it needs to be, but still impressive. Original video by coops1. If you have a London-based video, or a splendid idea for one you'd like us to film, write to londonist - at - gmail - dot com.......

Video. Everyone's at it. After our recent clip showing the haunted vaults beneath London Bridge and Stompie the Bermondsey tank, we thought it was about time to make a regular slot for this not-so-new medium. So we'll be poking our lenses into all kinds of recondite places over the coming months. To kick things off, here's a walk along the Fleet River Valley - from King's Cross to Blackfriars - courtesy of Jamie Gregory.......

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......

We love music videos obviously set in London and we love it even more when it's someone we think is ace. Malcolm Middleton is challenging X Factor for Xmas #1 and while we think it's extremely unlikely that he'll manage it, we're going to give him all the support we can. This is the funny video for "We're All Going To Die", mainly set down Oxford Street. It's out on Monday and we hope it......

Shlepp along past the Wapping Project in E1 and you can't fail to notice that something is afoot. Yellow umbrellas hang from a tree, as if a gaggle of Mary Poppins had become ensnared in the branches. Nearby a column of Dan Flavin-like yellow fluorescents hang in the disused accumulator tower, a pool at the bottom reflecting them into infinity. On the building's roof, a shipping forecast intones as a yellow dinghy and a......

The Holiday season is in full swing in NYC, with holiday lights in Brooklyn, a giant snow globe in Bryan Park and Chanukah specials for ham. One citizen decided to go vigilante on annoying car alarms, a murder suspect used a fake Asian accent on the stand and a video of a man being beaten up by teenage girls on a subway shocked the city. And we interviewed soon-to-be-leaving-Gawker editor Choire Sicha, who said,......

We haven't mentioned the Roundhouse lately and didn't expect to for the Christmas season, but we're pleasantly surprised to announce a new show in the completely circular space in Camden that opens tonight and runs for the festive period. LOFT is a comedy, circus, dance, music, video and live DJ mash-up by The 7 Fingers who were all formerly members of Cirque du Soleil. It's a story of 7 flatmates breaking up the monotony......

The provocative title is not simply a cheap trick like putting "SEX!!!!1!" across the top of a flyer to catch people's attention for carpet cleaning equipment. The One Night Stand With... series is quite literally one night with a specially commissioned artist at VINEspace, an inquisitive East London gallery in Bethnal Green Each month, an artist is invited to present an exhibition for one night only. It is taken down in the morning so......

About 18 months ago a band called Cazals had one spiky indie hit that we loved playing dancing to in the indie discos. It was called Poor Innocent Boy and then we never heard anything about them again. Friends with Doherty (boo) and Bloc Party (woo), we forgot about them entirely until an email appeared telling us they were supporting the mighty Daft Punk in Japan this week. Rather than just wallowing in indie obscurity......

Our weekly roundup of film reviews continues, courtesy of James Bryan… This week Brad Pitt’s latest (with a title so long it shouldn’t be allowed) The Assassination of Jesse James etc, the alternate realities of The Nines, Vince Vaughn slumming it in Fred Claus, the video game adaptation Hitman, Kenneth Branagh directs The Magic Flute and a re-release for the classic All About Eve. If you get annoyed with trailers that give the plot......

Some good news from Greenwich at last. Six months on from the dramatic inferno the Cutty Sark restoration is making progress. Thankfully her skeleton of iron girders withstood the fire so, aside from the small matter of increasing restoration costs by £15m, she's on track to reopen to the public in 2010. We were almost as gutted as she was when the news broke back in May so we'll be interested to hear the......
