Sam of Ghost Signs is this week’s blogger, whose fascination with the legacy of painted wall advertising has led him to document them as they come and go in London’s ever-changing environment. The blog has been mentioned as a favourite by many of our previous interviewees so we thought it was high time we found […]
This week’s blogger is Jean-Paul Séculaire who has been documenting London’s nightlife, cafes, record shops, bars and more since 2001, including a monthly calendar of club nights. His site, The London Dossier, is “an unapologetically personal guide to all that is cool in the UK’s capital city”, a great snapshot of London socialising and full […]
This week’s interview is with Lovely Nick from Brockley Central who was life-savingly quick in his responses in my post-Twestival week! i think this is a really cool blog, in the way it has developed such a strong local community – and 4000 views a week gives it some real power! Londonist: The London Blogger […]
We first spotted this fruity obsession back in June, and we’re pleased to see it graduate to an exhibition of true London randomness, London Banana: A show of 1000 portraits of banana skins discarded in London’s urban environment. The project http://www.londonbanana.com has documented nearly 2,000 lonely banana skins on our streets, making us feel much […]
I was lucky enough to be taken to an uber geeky restaurant last week, especially chosen for the attendees because of it’s geek-credentials! Inamo on Wardour St, Soho has gorgeous Asian fusion food and interactive touchscreen tables, meaning you can flick through the menu, view images, order, and then play games and change the table design […]
We’ve been working with Air New Zealand this month to amplify a cool stunt in which one of their 747 pilots abseiled down a huge billboard in East London to paint on the missing ad slogan. A time-lapse video – see below – of the activity made it onto sites I love like AdRants, TrendHunter […]
These are cool prints from Delicate Mayhem who are at the Backyard Market on Sundays. They do great London cityscapes, which if you look closely feature everything from Banksy’s to plugged in Bearskin guards, fried chicken shops and a glimpse at what’s really below the tube line – as well as normal Londoners getting on with […]
Didn’t plan to do a Twestival post but then I saw this picture of Paul from Annie’s collection and couldn’t resist! Bless him! Fab event, saw lots of the same old social media blagger crowd and was also pleased to meet some new people in real life like @documentally, @jester, @jedhallam, @brothermical, @jamiec and probably lots of others… […]
I went to the third birthday of the London Girl Geek Dinners last week which were at Google’s Victoria Offices. The Girl Geek Dinners are a fantastic networking community for women working in a special interest area, often tech, but other areas are welcome and present. They were initiated by Sarah Blow after she attended […]
Pictures of the Banksy’s which have been cropping up in New Orleans were in the papers this week, as I was just reminded of when I spotted them on Headphone Sex. I love graffitti and everyone loves Banksy don’t they! I walk past his Jack the Ripper everyday on my way to my flat which […]
