Victoria Embankment this morning. Why should hard working cyclists taxes go on these wide car lanes when motorists don't bother using them?

Shame it is that way, hopefully something will change eventually. T&T could be a cycling gem!

Will the redevelopment of spots like these arches deepen gentrification in east London? Or can it be done in a way that fosters genuine community?

The area around the gardens, especially Three Colts Lane, has been redeveloped in recent years with a pub, three galleries and a sauna, which is in contrast to the Globe Town estate on the other side of the arches.

London railway arches are changing.
Many of the once dilapidated arches in London have been turned into shops, cafes and bars, often near glitzy new developments.

Works have now started on 10 arches along Bethnal Green Gardens on Malcolm Place in east London where the Luigi Mangione mural is.

No room for your car? Just leave it on the road, on the pavement, on a verge - anywhere really.

Deborah Persaud was left the side of the road in Dalston with her guide dog Betty and heavy bags after taxi driver Rahim Eren refused to take her.
