‘Pet Shop, Forest Gate.’ 2022. Established 1948, rent became too high, closed January 2025. Still boarded up, waiting for?….I expect that anonymous concrete and glass will eventually block the skyline! @thegentleauthor @PaintingsLondon @ahistoryinart

Heard the rumours of banks buying up London flats? Like clockwork @Telegraph starts telling people not to buy flats in London. No mention of banks now becoming landlords en masse (through subsidiaries like Lloyds Living). Great work @joshkirbywrites

We urgently need 24/7 cross river infrastructure for cycling and cargo bikes in East London. Silvertown Tunnel must be repurposed, and Rotherhithe Tunnel. A truly Green Mayor would do this. Map by @pedalmeapp

Not terribly surprising. New research by @UniWestminster shows that e-cargo bikes ship goods far quicker than vans in London. @pedalmeapp. @JourneysPlaces

@ShowMeASignBryn @RantyHighwayman And it’s about to get a whole lot worse when it fills up with drivers avoiding the new tolls at Blackwall/Silvertown. Such a shame. Cos the Rotherhithe Tunnel is in the PERFECT place to become a really good and popular cycling/walking tunnel. But I can’t see it happening.

It is believed the sharks use the estuary to give birth and nurse their young, meaning the Thames plays a vital role in the long-term survival of the species. 📸ZSL https://t.co/U8smUn9qhB
