By Jonathan Hatchman, Food Editor, @TLE_Food With regards to eating out, the area surrounding the Greenwich Peninsula was, until last year, still very much a plot of inoperable, muddy wasteland. First popularised by the primarily pointless erection of a colossal tent stylised as The Millennium Dome, opening its doors in 2000 before eventually closing down just one year later, North Greenwich is now famously home to The O2 Arena, one of the world’s most popular live music venues. And alongside...

By Bea Patel, TLE Property Editor and Director of Shop for an Agent The 2016 London Mayoral election will take place tomorrow (5 May). With Boris Johnson choosing not to run, Labour candidate Sadiq Khan and Conservative representative Zac Goldsmith battle it out as the two front runners. So what could this mean for the average UK homeowner? Historic data reveals a Labour mayor would be better for aspiring London homeowners, as under Ken Livingstone, Labour saw an increase in...

Can’t decide whether to invest in your IT equipment or rent instead? This post talks you through the all-important business considerations you need to make.

The good news for anyone looking to purchase their dream home is that there is plenty of information out there to help you. The bad news? There is so much that it’s hard to know where to start. Blogs are the internet’s more informal way of spreading tips, hints, tricks and information. They can be an extremely helpful accompaniment to have open in a tab next to your property listings pages and the kind of factual ‘house price’ information that...

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor There have been claims made by a well known anti-corruption campaigner that UK authorities will “always find excuses not to investigate” money laundering. Bill Browder, a former Hedge Fund chief, told MPs that the UK are actually refusing to look at evidence of “dirty” Russian money, that indicate that money is being laundered through our banking system. Browder believes that authorities don’t want “to rock the boat,” even when he filed six complaints linked to...

Sport News 24/7 By David de Winter - Sports Editor @davidjdewinter  @TLE_Sport Leicester who?  Now all that Premier League title nonsense is over, it’s time to get back to the real football – the relegation battle.  Norwich City, Newcastle United and Sunderland all find themselves at the wrong end of the table with three (two in the Toon’s case) games remaining and only one team to stay in the league.  Their respective seasons will be defined by the next two...

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor It started with New Zealand’s police #runningmanchallenge Facebook video but it has now been followed by NYPD. The NZ police force released the video of some of their officers getting down to the “running man” dance in a slightly unorthodox recruitment drive. They then challenged other forces across the world to mimic them. The clip is part of a year-long campaign by the New Zealand police force, which wants to sign up 400 new officers...

Zac Goldsmith has looked to reconnect with ordinary London folk by delivering milk in Holland Park. The Tory candidate for Mayor of London took to the streets on a milk round to dispel myths that he's just another Old Etonian, although he only delivered to Kensington and Mayfair.

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor I didn’t write PMQs last week I was on my own stag do in Barcelona, with 30 odd (show off) of my friends. One hospital trip, two lost souls (they were found the next day) and an eight-hour delayed Ryanair flight home later and we were all still friends. Saying that I haven’t seen any of them since. So I’d like to think I know who my friends are, but does Jeremy Corbyn? This question...
