What's up with the mayor's peerage? • The Soho House founder and the women-only sculpture gallery facing eviction • In court for the sentencing of the TfL hackers
The Vinyl Factory is owned by Mark Wadhwa (aka the man behind 180 The Strand), who’s already in business with Nick Jones and has spent the past decade placemaking that whole city block, so it’s hardly surprising he’s branching out.
More importantly: where do I sign the petition to save The Artist’s Garden? Anything that reduces the chances of another Thomas Heatherwick public project has my full support.
I’m really surprised that Chris Weston’s pay rise isn’t receiving more attention. It was almost a footnote on the BBC News online article about Thames Waters financial troubles.
This is a pay rise which, by itself (£125k), would be considered an amazing salary by a large proportion of Londoners. Even in relative terms (using your numbers) it is a 14% increase - far more than most people have received for years. Anyone would think it was indication that Thames Water was performing well, yet they have only just managed to survive by imposing massive price rises on their customers.
I’m no revolutionary, but when I read stories like this, I move that little bit closer

Suggests a certain lack of political acumen.
