Dear Londoners — It’s a Monday of returns: Hannah’s back from a long weekend in Naples, Peter’s back from visiting his family in Cambridge, and Andrew’s back from drinking his way around the pubs of south and east London. And this week, we’re getting ready for the coming heatwave — after months of grey skies, we can’t say we aren’t desperate for it. But what has been keeping us feeling sunny regardless are your delightful comments. Take this, from Peter’s housebuilding piece:
“This is an excellent analysis of the problem. No extraneous rubbish and no political bias. Just the punchy factual stuff I like reading…”
We always love seeing what your thoughts are below the line — and getting your read on the matter at hand. Today, we have a delightfully juicy Monday briefing. There’s a celeb-fuelled crusade to stop a supertall tower in Battersea, a Swatch reseller mob and a rather poor turnout at the rally held by far-right activist Tommy Robinson. That's in addition to your usual pub recommendation (this one picked for its sunny-day bonafides), a free Chelsea Flower Show alternative and an archival blast from east London's past.
