Is Canary Wharf cool now?
Since 2022, a load of glitzy new bars and restaurants have opened in the financial district. New swimming spots and green spaces have made it less oppressively grey.

@nathanparsad and I spotted a gap:
Nobody was covering London’s borough elections with the depth they deserved.
So we got @DaveHill and @lewis_baston at @OnLondon to fix that.
London Decides — a guide to all 32 boroughs going to the polls on May — is live and free.

To modify the limerick about himself by Hennessy's great hero Clem Attlee:
There were many who thought him
a starter
There were few who thought
themselves smarter
From Clem Attlee's East End
This Times hack's way would wend To prof, lord and knight of the garter
Apr 23
3 new Knights of the Garter have been announced today:
- historian and former journalist Peter Hennessy, Lord Hennessy of Nympsfield
- former Cabinet Secretary Gus O’Donnell, Lord O’Donnell
- former Lord Chief Justice Lord Burnett of Maldon
