Caledonian Park, Holloway, Islington George Bernard Shaw : People are always blaming circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get ahead in this world are people who get up and look for the circumstances they want; and if they can’t find them, make them.

Kings Cross gyratory - reviewing the road network in the Kings Cross area to make it safer for all road users, especially pedestrians and cyclists. Kings Cross gyratory We are reviewing the road network in the Kings Cross area to make it safer for all road users, especially pedestrians and cyclists. A strategic review was launched in December 2011. It will consider the future operation of the Kings Cross gyratory system and consider changing the one-way roads to two-way.

The Highgate Men's Pond Association has some simple main objectives: to keep the pond as it is as much as possible, and to represent our members views to the City of London. The City currently have plans to work on the dams on the Heath (which would close the ponds for months), they also plan to rearrange the toilets and entrance at the Men's Pond. At the very least we wanted to be included in discussions about both sets of works... If you've got any queries or any thoughts you want to share with the HMPA committe please contact ...

Give @DalaiLama a million and he gives it away St Paul's #DalailLama #TempletonPrize #StPauls Tibet’s spiritual leader called on nations to tackle the ongoing global economic crisis with “optimism and hard work” stating that “any problem which is created [by man], we must have the ability to solve.” After learning of last summer’s riots he said the root cause of such violence was young people "being brought up to believe that life was just easy.” “Life is not easy,” he added. “If you take for granted that life will be easy, then anger develops, frustration, and riots."

London facts! Hampstead Heath Post lunch dip .... 12 degrees ... for all year swimmers: when the temperature of the pond is ten degrees, it is warm. For me still a bit cold! Chalybeate waters, also known as ferruginous waters, are mineral spring waters containing salts of iron.
