Even more London snow news
From the Met Office:
The risk of disruption during tomorrow morning's rush hour has been raised to 90% for the London area. The main area of concern is likely to be to the north and west of central London where 10-15 cm of snow is possible. Accumulations of 2 to 5 cm are expected to be widespread.
One concern is the rate at which snow could accumulate during tomorrow morning. The impact of this could lead to problems in keeping main routes clear (despite best efforts). Grid locking would then need to be considered as a major risk. Other impacts include disruption to power supplies due to ice accretion.
As the snow moves northwards during the day on Thursday, it is expected to turn to rain. Some thawing will occur but on Thursday night into Friday, a refreezing is expected to give widespread ice problems.
For more detailed information please refer to www.metoffice.gov.uk. However, please note that the Met Office is experiencing some difficulties with their site due to the exceptional demands for information at this time.

Great day out in Hackney
This past Saturday, Emiana and I headed east to Hackney's Broadway Market for a stroll in the sun. I was happy to see Exmouth Market faves Gujarati Rasoi and Jollif Pot, as well as other recognizable venders on the street. After a spot of lunch, we roamed around admiring the grafitti and urban landscape until we (quite accidently) came upon a landscape of quite a different sort, Hackney City Farm. Great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Hope to do it again soon.

Snow in London expected Thursday morning
From the Met Office:
This is the first warning of disruption due to Heavy Snow. The Met Office is expecting a period of heavy snow to develop across Southwest England and much of Wales during Wednesday night and this is expected to extend across the Midlands, London, the Southeast of England and East Anglia during Thursday morning. There is also a risk that the snow will extend into parts of northern England for a time before dying away from all areas during Thursday afternoon. Accumulations of 2-5cm are expected quite widely inland, with 10-15cm possible for parts of the Midlands and Wales. Rain is more likely close to southern coasts where less cold air is expected. The period of snow could cause disruption to travel networks, especially across high level routes and the fact that timing of this event will coincide with the morning rush-hour.

Santoré for proper pizza
I recently got a gig writing for the entertainment section of Crumbs for Men, a new monthy online magazine. Here's a link to a review I wrote for them.
Santoré

Crumbs for Men

There have been plenty of honourable mentions along the way, but it was when I took a chance on a margherita at Santoré in Clerkenwell that I felt my desire to find a superb pizza in London had been satisfied.
