My brother and two nephews came down from Norfolk, by coach, to spend the day in London. Fortunately the weather forecast was mostly wrong and, after an initial drizzling, we were barely dampened all day. First stop was a Thames-side attraction I'd never visited before - most enjoyable, and which...Sun, 06 Jul 2008 05:41:35 GMTTop 10 Sources - Londonhttp://www.toptensources.com/post/London/feeds.gothamistllc.com/britain-wins-wimbledon/er-so-ok-perhaps-that-should-read-briton-wins-whttp://www.toptensources.com/post/London/feeds.gothamistllc.com/britain-wins-wimbledon/er-so-ok-perhaps-that-should-read-briton-wins-wEr, so OK, perhaps that should read 'Briton wins Wimbledon'. But the fact is that after a summer of pretty dire sports news for the UK, we have our first British junior Wimbledon champion for 24 years. AND she’s from Wimbledon. Laura Robson, at 14, is the youngest winner for 14 years, and her victory will surely fill...Sat, 05 Jul 2008 14:08:03 GMTTop 10 Sources - Londonhttp://www.toptensources.com/post/London/feeds.gothamistllc.com/review-lucha-libre-london-at-the-roundhouse/weve-always-romanticised-what-our-first-lucha-libhttp://www.toptensources.com/post/London/feeds.gothamistllc.com/review-lucha-libre-london-at-the-roundhouse/weve-always-romanticised-what-our-first-lucha-libWe've always romanticised what our first Lucha Libre would be like. Running from both gangsters and the law through the mean streets of Mexico City, we duck down a back street only to discover the most magnificent fighting arena imaginable.

This year’s theme is myth and legend – a colourful time is sure to be had by all. The legendary Peter Tatchell will be on hand to entertain with his impersonation of Ahmadinejad in drag,...Sat, 05 Jul 2008 10:30:44 GMTTop 10 Sources - Londonhttp://www.toptensources.com/post/London/feeds.gothamistllc.com/the-saturday-strangeness/60.-more-than-just-a-haunting...-in-the-borough-ohttp://www.toptensources.com/post/London/feeds.gothamistllc.com/the-saturday-strangeness/60.-more-than-just-a-haunting...-in-the-borough-o60. More Than Just A Haunting... In the borough of Lewisham sits Brockley Road. Not exactly known for its supernatural relations or unnerving apparitions, but let me share with you a campfire story to chill even the warmest of hearts...

The fate of Forman's Salmon Smoking factory was thereby sealed as it was the exact spot that the new Olympic Stadium would be built. Forman's are now in a new factory overlooking the site and to mark this anniversary, they've install...Sat, 05 Jul 2008 07:48:05 GMTTop 10 Sources - Londonhttp://www.toptensources.com/post/London/diamondgeezer.blogspot.com/reshaping/did-you-ever-wonder-how-and-why-some-of-londons-bhttp://www.toptensources.com/post/London/diamondgeezer.blogspot.com/reshaping/did-you-ever-wonder-how-and-why-some-of-londons-bDid you ever wonder how and why some of London's buses are numbered with letters?
