15 years. Six prime ministers. One cat.
@Number10cat, AKA Larry, Chief Mouser at No 10, marks 15 years on the job this weekend. Recruited from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, he’s become a rare symbol of continuity in politics and possibly the most stable presence in Whitehall.
Few TV shows shout Oi, Lahnden quite like Only Fools & Horses. Full of fools and a disappointing lack of horses, it turned a clapped-out Reliant Robin into one of the most iconic vehicles in British comedy. A Peckham classic, now parked on the Illustrated Map of London.
Beneath the Cutty Sark is a very good place to spend Burns Night 🥃 which I did a couple of years ago. They’re not doing it this year but if you’re looking for a different Valentine’s Day venue then I highly recommend In The Dark: https://t.co/C3PMXDpmsv
First orders out this week, printed, packaged posted and even hand-delivered. A simple bit of logistics but it felt pretty special. Doing something new like this is a different kind of feel. 🗺️✨

A big post-launch moment: I gave a print to the brilliant Ritzy Picturehouse, Brixton, and the manager found a spot for it. A small act of kindness, and a huge boost for the project. This is the London spirit I love. 🗺️❤️

@BrixtonAndy @AutoTrader_UK @BrixtonAndy – hi Andy. Did you ever live at the top of Brixton Hill? If so, I picked up some post addressed to you that might be of interest (this isn't spam).
@stephggriffith@SurelyYouJest1 Please don't give up on her. If there's the slightest chance of sowing a bit of doubt in her mind it's worth taking. Just think how many of her friends and family she could reach if she saw things differently. Be calm, rational and patient. And good luck.
