If you are feeling brave (and maybe own a hazmat suit), what's left of the house under all this is having an open day for prospective buyers.

Two blocks of flats at Old Street, one with Gails at the bottom and the other with Greggs.
I wonder if that affects the house prices?
"Darling, I simply can't live above Greggs, lets pay £5k extra to live next door, that's above Gails"

Buckingham Palace's Royal Mews has opened its "first ever Christmas pop-up shop".
Thinking that they were putting it in the Royal Mews, maybe taking over some of the stables, I popped along for a look at the pop-up.
It's just the existing tourist shop open for Christmas :(

The lighting shop on Kensington Church Street is closing down.
Oddly sad about that, as it seemed to be a centuries-old family business (actually, about 80 years) and would outlast every fad that society could throw at it.
