I’m not proud of the amount I spent on royal wedding shit, but nor am I entirely ashamed. Come on—how many royal weddings am I going to attend? This is both true, and my justification for purchasing way too much (wonderful) junk.
You very likely saw this yesterday on your Twitter timeline, where it caused so many freak-outs they made it into a Moment, but I simply cannot stop thinking about it: supermodel Naomi Campbell and her alleged new boyfriend, grime star Skepta, looking impossibly beautiful on the cover of British GQ. On the front flank…
Dany Cotton is the first female commissioner of the London Fire Brigade, which should be enough to earn her some freaking respect. Yet, just mentioning that changing “fireman” to “firefighter” would perhaps encourage more women to join the force has led to nothing but abuse. Surprise.
On Wednesday, the Guardian reported that the University College London had opened an investigation into a series of conferences on “eugenics and intelligence” that were somehow allowed to flourish covertly on its campus for at least three years.
Did you know that there are hedgehogs in London? Well—for now.

The London Metropolitan Police released disturbing video on Tuesday, showing a male jogger shoving a female pedestrian out of his way and into the path of an oncoming bus that misses her by inches.
Donald Trump’s visit to the United Kingdom has been a contentious topic for months now. Most recently, London mayor Sadiq Khan has called for the trip’s cancellation due to Trump’s boorish response to the city’s recent terrorist attack. Now our kindergartner-in-chief says he isn’t going to the U.K. if its people are…
On the heels of their break with Kathy Griffin, CNN has severed ties with Believer host Reza Aslan—and also, seemingly, for Trump-related reasons. Aslan recently referred to Donald Trump as a “piece of shit” on Twitter. Who among us, truly?
As you may recall, our overcooked, overdone steak-gobbling president is scheduled to pay a visit to the United Kingdom. While there, he would inflict himself upon both Queen Elizabeth and Parliament, and no doubt countless other innocents. But after starting a Twitter feud with London mayor Sadiq Khan, Khan is calling…
Even by recent standards, this weekend was an especially heavy one. We’re mourning with London for the horrors they endured on Saturday. We continue to hold Manchester close as they recuperate from the calamity visited upon them not even two weeks ago. We condemn Donald Trump as he blithely dooms the entire fucking…
In the wake of yesterday’s terrorist attack on London Bridge—one that left at least seven people dead—Facebook has announced its intent to render its platform “hostile” to terrorists.
On Sunday, British Prime Minister Theresa May announced that suffragist Millicent Garrett Fawcett will be honored with a statue in London’s Parliament Square. She will be the first woman to join the ranks of those commemorated there.

Rat Boy, Oh Wonder and Prose have been announced as acts on the lineup for the U.K.’s Reading and Leeds Festival in August. Also, You Me at Six, Angel, Avelino, Bear’s Den, the Amity Affliction and Giggs. And DAVE. Everything Everything. Billy Talent. Marshmello! Camelphat! Wiley! James Organ. In addition, Picture…
British Prime Minister Theresa May invited Donald Trump, our fluorescent ham rump-in-chief, to visit the United Kingdom just days after his inauguration. On this trip, he would meet Queen Elizabeth II (heaven help her) and, typically, he would address Parliament. But there’s a slight wrinkle in this itinerary:…
On Wednesday night, London’s Borough Market held an Evening of Cheese event, which they described on Twitter as “a fromage-themed extravaganza.” It sounds like attendees didn’t find the cheese bacchanal they were hoping for and instead had to spread their crackers with DRAMA.
One of the few things left to look forward to is the annual release of data that shows which European city is doing most of its cocaine supply, by scientists who determine such by analyzing the cocaine in various sewers. Usually it’s London, but this year, in an interesting twist, Antwerp is doing all the blow.
