Bloomberg’s generous donation of these wonderful Roman artefacts will be a great addition to the London Museum’s collections and the investment provides a major boost to one of the biggest cultural projects in Europe.

I want to thank Mike for his continued commitment to London.

The very human finds of this astounding collection shows that even across 2,000 years we are not so different from all those who have gone before us.

I welcome the government’s announcement of multi-million pound funding to arts venues, museums, libraries & heritage institutions.

We will continue to work with the government, councils and our arts and cultural organisations to make sure culture in London continues to thrive.

There is no reason why EU membership should be off the table. 🇪🇺🇨🇦

I listened to my bluebottle and forgetting the mist creeping coldly up from the valley, I opened a nice little book which told me, among other things, about the garden plants particularly useful to bees, and instantly the calendar ceased to say December. #gardening
