I asked myself, can two of my favorite things, bikes and film, really co-exsist? It appears so. The magnificent revolution crew are weaving some cinematic magic to local London parks, rooftops and playgrounds.

In celebration of the 30th anniversary of classic British sitcom Only Fools & Horses, you can spend a night in an exact replication of Del and Rodney Trotter’s London pad for the low Eighties price of only 18 quid. The pop-up accommodation in South East London includes original props for from the TV show, including the distinct brown and yellow lounge curtains, living room bar and lashings of tiger print décor.

One of things I love about living in a big city like London or New York is that there is always something new to check out. Generally, that something tends to be an attractive man. Actually, he doesn’t even need to be that attractive. Checking out guys is just kind of fun when you are a sweaty, over-crowded central bound train at 8am in the morning and you need to find away to pass the time. Read more

The sweetest word play award goes to the Berkeley hotel in London for its new afternoon tea menu, Prêt-à-Portea (a play on fashion bible website, Net a Porter). Even though a lot of craftsmanship would have gone into creating these edible delights (including a Marc Jacobs raspberry and lychee cream jumpsuit with over-sized chocolate flower belt), I still want to devour them.

There aren’t many performances in TV history more memorable than Idris Elba’s turn as Baltimore drug czar Stringer Bell on The Wire. So I was thrilled to discover Luther, the BBC show that flips Elba from robber to cop, on Netflix Instant. Set in London, Luther finds the British actor back in his hometown playing an embattled detective responsible for the city’s grisliest murder cases. The show is shot with such care, it’s beautiful to watch. Imagine our beloved Law & Order directed by Christopher Nolan.

Wow! There’s just something about colour that brings history to life. These incredible recently released colour images from Time and Life and Getty were taken during World War Two and reveal a devastated London reeling from the constant onslaught of Nazi bombers. Read more

Having grown up in a small desert town, I find myself suffocated by the strange hazy blanket that descends upon London at night in place of the stars. It makes me cranky. If plants are solar powered then perhaps some people are star powered? Read more

We like this blog, Silent Cities. We like seeing images of some of the most noisy and crowded places in the world momentarily bathed in silence. There is something both serene and eerie about these scenes. The images above and below are from London, Sydney and Detroit. Read more

Craig Nunn takes wonderful pictures of all sorts of things. He took photos of me once. He somehow finds time to play in London lo-fi stalwarts Internet Forever, and be a primary school teacher. He calls himself Heartbeeps and he’s got a book out of his photos of India. Read more

Seriously, all you need to know is about Bob Bob Richard is this: You press a button at your table, and these waiters dressed in powder pink suit jackets will bring you champagne. Go. Now. Just don’t have a break-up date there, the champagne doesn’t taste as good then.
It occurs to me that good art therapy for super anal-retentive people might be tiny ‘nano-origami,’ such as the kind made by Anja Markiewicz. Read more
I’ve seen a lot of weird nesting dolls — my parents bought one of Bill Clinton and all his women from the Hanoi Hilton where John McCain was held captive. But this anatomical one by Jason Levesque takes the cake as the best one.
How many times can we play the same song in different settings? Hmmm, I don’t know. But it is a hell of a song, from a hell of a band, as that uniquely English oddity, Jules Holland would no doubt concur.
Summertime at McCarren Park in Williamsburg is picturesque. It’s often filled with a mix of people, old and young, picnicking or sitting in the shade, running along the track or playing soccer (or football, depending on where you’re from). It’s also connected to a now defunct McCarren (swimming) pool which transforms into an outdoor concert space on Sundays during the summer. In the past, performers such as Leslie Feist, M.I.A., The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Broken Social Scene have performed. Read more
What would you be prepared to do for $5? I mean, really? Would you sell your first born, dance with a stranger? Yeah? Well, now you can prove it. The Fiverr site is ‘the place for people to share things they’re willing to do for $5′. Err, five dollar Skype clarinet lesson, anyone?
One-woman noise act Child Bride makes droning, ambient, sample-laden, tribal noise that sounds like a pagan cyber-witch mourning the death of her shaman.
