Jazz has undergone something of a revolution in London over the past decade, as acts like Ezra Collective have gone from car park jam sessions to scooping up awards and topping the charts.

With the opening of Blue Note jazz club, is the scene now at its apex?

Andy Burnham’s friend and big donor Sacha Lord got a 35k government grant for his lobbying group last month despite his company owing 400k to the taxpayer for a Covid grant.

Amazingly, this one contained false claims as well. @ManchesterMill exclusive 🚨

Update: The Charity Commission confirms it has escalated its probe to the level of a statutory inquiry.

Inquiry will look at decision-making around finances including loans, whether charitable property is at risk, and if governance arrangements are fit for purpose.

In @_TheLondoner today, we picked our favourite places to meet friends after work in central London — that don't require jostling with crowds or booking weeks ahead.

Let me know what you think of my choices 👀 https://t.co/tCNgR7bsop

Last month, the British Library decided to turn three of its reading rooms into paid-for WeWork-style coworking spots.

I exclusively spoke with staff on the inside about the last three years of chaos, from disastrous hacks to having four different CEOs.

The Explorers Club of New York, which counts Jeff Bezos and Buzz Aldrin among its members, was looking for a London home. The House of St Barnabas in Soho was available. It seemed like a perfect plan.

Our weekend read details how it all unravelled.

For weeks, a strange gang has smashed the windows of a clothes store near the British Museum... and stole nothing.

For weeks, a strange and inept gang has smashed the windows of a clothes store near the British Museum... and stole nothing.
