London has many fine traditions. Red buses, black taxis, grey skies, world class shopping, royal palaces and arguably the finest theatres in the world.

Another fine tradition that has been adopted over the past few years is a line of eager...

The internet has brought us many things. Feline pianists, startled rodents and more “epic fails” than you can shake a broken skateboard at. It’s also brought us the fabulous concept that you can get most things for free.

It’s...

As you make your way through your day-to-day life, how much attention do you pay to your surroundings? We're not suggesting that you all blunder around bumping into things all the time, but seriously, when was the last time you had a really good look...

If there's a healthy future for the film industry, we reckon this is definitely a significant part of it. This London-based initiative has come to the attention of an industry approaching crisis point, what with the demise of the UK Film Council, swingeing...

Yet another bank holiday weekend comes and goes with absolutely naff all on the telly (and yes, I include Friday's nuptials in that as I can't bear watching my own wedding video, let alone somebody else's).

I know there was nothing on, because...

It's possible, just possible, that some of you will notice a little get-together in London today. A couple of posh people are tying the knot and the whole world's gone mental for it. We're happy for them and wish then every success for the future.

But...

Not that long ago, photojournalism was something that only an elite few got involved in, or certainly became successful doing. Tales of derring-do and near-death experiences, all in the name of "getting the shot", were the legends and meal tickets...

Ask a simple question and you're likely to get a similar answer from a large proportion of the adult population, particularly when it comes to the younger generation, and particularly if the question revolves around street crime. You're likely to hear...

Woah. Things just got real. The latest batch of leaked US secrets points the finger of shame at Gitmo, the infamous military prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba that’s housed some of the most notorious inmates in living memory.  Notorious is the...

There’s no finer city in the world than London when the sun is shining. The usual dark, gloomy sense of hopelessness and relentless grind is lifted the instant the clouds part, the Raybans come out and the hemlines start to rise a few inches.

This...

Some years ago, BC (before children), the only time I reached for a Haynes manual was when which ever bucket of rust and loose connections I had for a car decided to let me down again. But then, when Mrs H fell pregnant with Number 1, somebody sent...

As the youth of today like to say: OMG. This is a site unlike anything we’ve seen and it’s both fun and frightening at the same time.

In quite possibly the most involved way imaginable, at www.truelifecosts.com, VW are trying to...

This site hit the headlines in London yesterday and it caused quite a stir. Not because it's a blatant infringement of people's privacy and civil rights, or that it might a bit, well, tacky. 

Oh no. It's caused a stir because women are swooning...

It’s probably true to say that your average student will think they know their way round the internet pretty well by the time they get to college. But finding the trendiest new music, the latest bootleg Hollywood movies and the best collection...

Being British carries with it a reputation sometimes. There's binge drinking for one. Being a bit reserved is another (probably down to the constant hangover, but nobody's ever put two and two together). A spirit of adventure and not taking "no" for...

Times are tough for everybody at the moment. Except maybe MPs. Oh and the bankers of course - things are still pretty rosy in the Square Mile. But for the rest of us mere mortals, it’s a frugal time.

So it was no surprise recently to...

David Lynch is, arguably, one of the most important and influential film directors of his generation. He’s also, arguably, completely bonkers. At least that's what his body of work might lead you to believe.

In fact, he's actually quite...

There are, without a doubt, quite a few things I lie awake at night wondering about. Some of them are quite mundane. Some of them are just a bit weird. A couple would probably make a psychiatrist start taking notes, but not one of them has ever been:...

There was a time when turning one of your photos into a canvas print was both a time-consuming and expensive undertaking. You had to get your negative scanned, enlarged, retouched and printed at specialist outlets and it would often take weeks.

Happily,...

Britain is probably the only country in the world where the weather regularly makes the news. I’m not talking about extremes of weather either. I mean just a few degrees difference either way and suddenly our newspapers are full of scantily clad...

Anybody who's ever been to London, and spent any real time there, will know only too well how quickly the novelty of its public transport system wears off. You're either left forlornly staring into the gaping mouth of an empty tunnel for hours on end...

As is often the case, it's the simplest things that can make your life so much easier.

Say you've got a batch of images you want to use on your web page or in a presentation. Yes, you can open them in Photoshop and resize each one. You can...

There's really no substitute for a good education - something I'm acutely aware of as I see my peers now running their own companies and jetting off on exotic holidays while trying to decide which colour their new Porsches will be.

But I'm...

It’s funny sometimes how one word can have two quite opposite meanings.

These days, the word “wireless” is de rigueur for any gadget hitting the market. But say the word to your Granny and she’ll get all misty-eyed and...

What did you do the last time you had five minutes to kill? If you're an iPhone user I reckon it might've featured some Angry Birds, or maybe a quick Facebook update. Maybe you called your Mum. And that's a good thing to do. But what if you'd chosen...
