This bizarre video footage shows what one man believes to be an extra-terrestrial visit from an 'enormous' UFO over his street. Mike Westlake, 28, shot the mobile phone footage showing three large, bright lights in the shape of a triangle flashing in the same straight line through the sky. He said the unidentified lights - which remained in the sky for ten minutes - made no noise. Forklift truck instructor Mike said: "It really weirded me out. I don't usually...
A single mum came back from a family trip abroad to find she was homeless after the council gave her flat to someone else - and EVICTED her. Candice Cridland flew to Jamaica to say goodbye to her dying grandmother but when she came back discovered her home had been given to someone else - after she had been out of the country for a couple of weeks. The mother-of-two had been living in a flat in Bow, east London,...
With Dalston having served as London’s coolest place to live for such a long time, recently overtaken by Peckham, it’s perhaps surprising that such a flagrant tribute to Andy Warhol’s Silver Factory hasn’t seen the light of day – until now. The first East London bar from Tony Conigliaro, often dubbed the ‘Heston Blumenthal of cocktails’, Untitled Bar sits just a stone’s throw from Dalston Junction Overground, on Kingsland Road. Inside, the ground-floor bar is awash with natural light that cascades...
A rare 17th-century map which was stuffed up a chimney to stop draughts has been returned to its original home following painstaking restoration work. The wall map -- one of only three in the world -- was recovered during renovations on a house in Aberdeenshire last year. It was covered in dirt and severely damaged after being attacked by vermin and insects, and looked to be unsalvageable. The map was all set to go to the skip, until someone had...

He's one of the latest to fall victim to the simple technique and has since heard of hundreds of other drivers who have been targeted in the same way. Watch Video Here...
London Bridge terrorist Khuram Butt looked 'concerned' in the weeks leading up to the attack, according to a young man who shared the same backstreet gym. The 20-year-old, who asked not to be named 'for fear of his life', said he had first met Butt last month when he signed up to the Ummah Fitness Centre in Ilford. The gym goer said: ''I met him three weeks ago. ''He speak only with his guys, people who come in robes. ''When...

Nostalgic images dating back almost half a century have been released providing a very British trip down memory lane. National Express turns 45 this year, and to celebrate the company has raided the archives and dug out a string of old photographs and marketing material. The rare, previously unseen images, one of which shows the eight-strong customer service team at work at the firm’s Birmingham HQ in 1974, give a fascinating insight into the origin of the much-loved brand.
