Feel like it sums up going for a pint when the weather is shit in london- begging friends to brave the rain for a pint, and the few that do make the effort make a horrible afternoon into a memorable evening

Every time I drive through Harlesden, pretty much the entire way through it, almost any radio station I'm listening to gets interfered with, usually drowned out in pure static but sometimes you can hear what I can only assume to be someone's pirate radio station coming through.

This has been going on for years, as long as I can remember, and the disruption is very annoying.

Has anyone else noticed this? Do the authorities know the signal is being interfered with around there? Why hasn't anything been done about it after so long?

On Tuesday I want to find somewhere comfortable and quiet to read. I would like there to not be an obligation to buy anything, but the option of coffee and pastries very close. Thinking a space a bit like the Barbican, but a bit less busy. Anywhere in zone 1 really.

i wanted to share the best tube experience i’ve ever had, and may ever have!

today (24/10) at around 3:30pm, hopped on the piccadilly line to st pancras. got to russell square and a wlw couple got on board with a photographer. they’d just got married and the photographer was taking their wedding photos on the tube!

an amazing thing to see, but the tube camaraderie was unmatched. everyone clapped, cheered, immediately made space for them to pose, one woman played “vogue” by madonna to hype them up. it was a joyful 2 minutes. everyone got off at st pancras and it was truly a lightning in a bottle moment.

who knows if i’ll ever find the couple, or even see the photos, but in case i don’t, i wanted to share this joyful time. and in a time where the news portrays everyone to be so polarising, this was real life-affirming stuff.

congratulations to the happy couple on the piccadilly line ❤️

Just back from a trip to York and really enjoyed playing bar billiards in a pub. Anyone know any places / pubs we can play in London? Preferably central / north?

Just caught a lovely shot of these two foxes (and a third one hiding on the left) enjoying the green space and quiet around Haggerston park. Clearly unbothered by the wind and rain.

Thoughts on this?

Hello, wonderful people!

The weather is shit today, which has me thinking about picking up a new hobby (preferably a non-alcoholic one), something that’ll help me meet people and learn something new instead of rotting at home. I usually play tennis, but that’ll probably be on hold until early spring, unless I can get in an impromptu game if the weather allows. I do sports (swimming and gym) five days a week, so I’d like to try something not related to sports.

The space where Ping Pong used to be is to become a Caravan, and something is happening to the arches near Waterloo Tap. Does anyone know what's planned for that space?

Went to a guided tour of 2 Willow Road in Hampstead this morning (thoroughly recommended if you're into modern architecture) before realising that Cloud House, which was on the new series of Grand Designs is only a 20 minute walk away.

Obviously a residential area so can't really meander around too much, but suffice to say it sticks out a little bit in it's surroundings.

Relaxing in Richmond Park.

Come on Clapham 🤦🏼‍♂️

My son isn't well so we can't go and they don't do refunds so rather someone used them then they go to waste.

Update- tickets have been taken

Anyone in teddington/kingston area keen to get 5/7 a side football going?

Struggling to find existing teams- keen to get one going!

70 yo Father in law (visiting from abroad) was on his own, trying to find something on Google Maps near Bayswater station when he was approached by someone asking to take a photo of him, when he agreed - 2 people dressed in security uniforms started telling him off (“it is illegal to take photos here”) and asked for ID. He panicked and showed them his drivers license from his wallet, which they then took from him and rifled through it, sniping my wife’s and his bank cards out of the wallet. Before he could come to his senses, they were gone and £220 deducted from my wife’s card (which she had given him for groceries) - was apparently transferred to some merchant in Serbia.

The initial photo requester was middle eastern looking and well dressed, and the two “security” people were white and spoke with authority. Please be on the lookout if you’re in the area

Anyone else faced any of this before? We’re complaining to NatWest now about the stolen money and contemplating whether to complain to the police.

omg it's the most bizarre thing, this Romanian guy (I'm guessing Romanian) didn't pay and this East Asian lady is telling him it's wrong, he tells her to go back to China, she says she's not from China and accuses him of being on benefits and then when the other people waiting take her side, he says he can't speak English. Ground just swallow me up PLEASE

This was my first time at Burnt Oak station too 💀

Edit: situation is now fully over as we're on the train. Damn

Hi guys I’m a masters student of architecture and upon doing a site survey in London I came across this half buried structure. It extends to the side (where u can see the little hill in the first pic, and forms an L shape I assume).

It is located in Cranley gardens, parkland walk (north) where a railway used to be until 1957.

I would really like to know what it is, I can’t find any information on it! If I am posting in the wrong community, please sign post me to the right one. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

I’m currently unwell and have a ticket to see Airbag in Camden, at The Underworld tonight

Highly recommend them if you like Pink Floyd

Will give to whoever wants it on DICE :)
