London Elections - Don't Forget to Vote Today!! (and remember to take a Photo Id with you)

There are three votes to cast: (1) for Mayor (pink ballot paper). (2) for the Enfield and Haringey member in the London Assembly (yellow ballot paper). (3) for London-wide members in the London Assembly - you vote for a political party rather than an individual person (orange ballot paper). The mayoral election is now first-past-the-post - so you don't have a second choice. Polling closes at 10pm. More info. on London Elects website.

Could you help St Martin of Porres?

If you’ve got a kid in primary school you probably already know this, but local estate agents often sponsor school summer and Christmas fairs, to generate cash for the schools (and a bit of advertising for the estate agent too!) We’re very lucky at St Martin of Porres to have an estate agent on board (haha) for our summer fair this year, but as a small school we struggle to get enough places to host the boards (we have fewer than 200 kids, and lots from the same family, and lots living in…

They were celebrating 75 years since it was built by Colin Chapman in one of these same garages, owned by his girlfriend's parents. Their son and daughter are pictured, about to set off on a repeat of its…

The Estorick Collection is housed in a Grade II listed Georgian townhouse overlooking Canonbury Square, and it opened in 1998 with funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund. There…

Friday nite at the ArtsFest - intriguing cabaret


Yesterday evening at the All Good Bookshop - artists making evocative sounds with strange instruments, film, poetry and story-telling. The idea - described by our MC and theremin (what?) player - came from the outrageous Cabaret Voltaire: Zurich 1916, where artists got together to work out what they should still say while the world burned in the First World War. The question remains relevant.

The acts used projections, music and words in various combinations which are not easy to…
