This is Barcelona at night, one of the world's most unique cities. But why does it look like that? Well, until 1855 it was overcrowded, dirty, and diseased — then something special happened. Here is how you build a beautiful city...

Lovely morning for run number 450. Well done to all the 134 who run/walked this morning and to our volunteers 37 today including pacers. First one of the year.

Happy discovery of this new oarkrun (new for me) Walthamstow parkrun Plus wonderful spring day to run. And nice to finally find a parkrun in London thst you actually run on grass!

I thought it was needlessly confrontational, not getting to the bottom of some issues (there is a risk blocked because to encourage drivers to take another route, not to enrage drivers!)

What an amazing transformation Aladych area has undergone. From 4 traffic lanes to ... none! More of this, please

Thanks for organising, so we can understand better all that's going on. Good job TCV TCV Haringey TCV Green Gym for the months ahead of work!

Great to come back to The Paddock after months of work removing Japanese knotweed, historic fly-tipping and others. Good job Haringey Council

Update your operating systems folks. "Canadian researchers discover spyware infecting iPhones without users ever clicking on anything" thestar.com/business/canad… via @torontostar

Very true. If you weren't do it, start now

Good windy and chilly morning at @Lordshipparkrun

😢

Not a bad idea at all. One hour energy detox doesn't seem too much to ask

Quite an interesting vote coming up for Islington north

That is a 0.0006 light year. Lunched 46 years ago and going at 60000km/h. The nearest star to the sun is 6 light-years away... let that sink

This is increasingly looking like a disaster for the Tories

Long live parkrun!

Well, that is it, folks. End-of-the-world hurricane is coming to the UK. 13 thousand mph is rather a breeze morning #bbcweatheglitch

The world turns a little darker. Certainly, hope won't come from above, it'll have to come from below. The fight will start today

Happy Birthday Ally Pally. 150 years of history, music, and culture—Alexandra Palace has been a London icon since 1875. Its concerts, sporting events and exhibitions have made it one of the city’s cultural treasures.
