Albinia Stanley revisits a Cambridge nudist colony that is still going strong despite the weather. Cambridge comes into its own on clear days, flowering into the ghost of a city that only really exists in Inter-War novels. It’s damp October now; the heavy chestnuts which lined the river in May, and the green-leafed glow of June, are long gone. But the early evenings bring in their own beauty. Virginia Woolf said once said it’s easy to feel as if you...

By Jack Peat, Editor of The London Economic  Every year since 1856, as the first leaf buds appear on trees and daffodils can be seen in terraced gardens and along the banks of public parks, Oxford and Cambridge eights race along the River Thames as part of the most watched university competition in the country between the two oldest and, for now, most respected institutions in the country. But could they about to be displaced by university colleges that reside...

By Charlotte Hope, Lifestyle Editor @TLE_Lifestyle Bono has glaucoma  So I was really quite annoyed to find U2 on my iPhone about a month ago, unannounced, as though I wanted it there. I did not. I’ve told everyone I can about it, and now I’m telling the internet. You’d think i was the only one; their album was, in fact, inflicted on millions of Apple consumers. Anyway, to promote the album we all already have, U2 appeared on Friday night’s...

By David de Winter – Sports Editor @davidjdewinter @TLE_Sport When you think of Champagne, you think of a glamorous drink to be enjoyed normally as an aperitif, or, if you’re really indulgent (and rich), with a meal. Cheese on the other hand is a traditionally a dessert or a post-dinner delight, commonly consumed with red wine or a digestif such as sherry or port. But Champagne and cheese together? Oh non! You can almost hear the French convulsing at the mere...

Did you know there's a total of 15,516 CCTV cameras in the London Underground? Well, neither did we. But thankfully the people at AAI Security did, and they've created this lovely infographic for The London Economic highlighting which London Underground station has the most. Enjoy!

By Steve Taggart You know what it's like when you live and work in the capital, you never do any of those touristy things on offer. But believe it or not, you might actually be missing out on some really fun stuff to do that gives you a very different perspective on what London is all about. For a while now we've been partaking in a bit of what we call 'dirty tourist behaviour' of a weekend and going full-on...

By Alex Iszatt The political confrontation that is occurring over the presidency of the Brazilian people is small fry for the Latin American country as its economy sinks into recession. President Dilma Rousseff and challenger Aecio Neves have faced off in their first debate since the opening round ballot – ahead of the October 26 elections. The two contradictory sides aired their grievances publicly. Neves, a centre-right, business-friendly candidate, attacked Rousseff's economic record and concentrated on divulging corruption within office. Rousseff counter-attacked...

By Pooja Ganeriwala, Content Manager at Mettl.com It's no secret that the economic benefits of obtaining an IT certification can be staggering; allowing IT professionals to earn nearly 8 - 13 per cent premium above a base salary. Factor in the compounding effect of annual pay bumps and increased chances for promotions and the incentive to earn certifications becomes all the more appealing. Which is perhaps why the industry deals with a high level of cheating fraud each year, mainly...

By Charlotte Hope Lifestyle Editor @charlottehope @TLE_Lifestyle Daylight saving ends next Sunday, did you know? That means it’ll be dark as you get ready for work, and dark when you’re going home from work. It also means that, if you’re me, your skin will start to flake in a reptilian way and your hair will dry and refuse to do absolutely anything you want it to do. Straighteners will snap bits off, brushing it will snap bits off and tying...
