The Battle Of Harlesden High Street continues! When will this work be finished? It has been weeks! More Friday night rush hour chaos! If there’s a problem on The A406, Harlesden grinds to a standstill!

Hundreds of people turned out this morning to pay their respects to our beloved colleague Ross. A testament to the love, affection and respect he earned from so many.
The cab trade has lost one of its finest, and we are all the poorer for it.
Light out, Ross. RIP, mate. You’ll be missed.

I quite like the message with this ad but would rather have seen the use of a black cab than a dodgy rickshaw!

Desmond's, the much-loved sitcom set in a Peckham barbershop, brought stories of family, friendship and community to audiences across the UK. Its impact is now recognised by a blue plaque from the Nubian Jak Community Trust.
Jak Beula, the trust's founder, says the show was pioneering, while writer Trix Worrell told BBC Radio London that its themes remain relevant today, with a new generation streaming the series on Channel 4.

The Wellesley Hotel (The Disappearing Tube Station)
The Wellesley is a beautiful, Art Deco luxury hotel standing at Hyde Park Corner. However, its foundations tell a very different story.
The hotel's structure is seamlessly integrated into the remains of the former Hyde Park Corner underground station. Designed by iconic architect Leslie Green, the station closed in 1932 when the lifts were replaced by escalators.
While the hotel interior is standard high-end luxury, looking closely at the structure from the street reveals the ghost of London’s transit past, masking the entrance where thousands of daily commuters once disappeared underground.

Bloomberg: "London Bridge is undergoing an earlier-than-planned engineering review as concerns grow over the state of the UK capital’s ageing river crossings." bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

The temporary speed restrictions on the A20 has been a colossal failure from TfL. It has taken a Crown Court to expose the scale of this failure.
This failure didn't need to happen. Sadiq Khan and TWO Secretaries of State have been asked to investigate. They refused. They have chosen to turn a blind eye to this.
This isn't just mild inconvenience. People have had points on their licenses and lost their livelihoods as a result.
The excuses need to stop. We must have an independent investigation.

The fantastic ITV Series Minder is 47 years old today.
Here we take a look at Terry McCann at Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge, and Justin James at Griffin Park Brentford.
The good old days of television!

🚨 The 2026 Ballon d'Or ceremony in London has been delayed by 30 minutes. 🏆
Heavy traffic across the English capital is one of the reasons behind the delayed start.
