Oxford Street with no traffic. From this morning, nearly 1km between Orchard Street and Great Portland Street is closed to cars, taxis, buses, bikes, scooters and pedicabs, with deliveries only between midnight and 7am. Itβs the first time in the streetβs history.
Half a million people walk it every day, and it was first promised back in 2016. 16 bus routes have changed: the 7 and 94 now end at Marble Arch, and the 98, 139 and 390 go via Wigmore Street, with new stops about 200m away.

At 9:39pm on Tuesday night in Tottenham, four masked men in hoods and gloves crept into the front garden of a family home. When the mum came to the window, two of them ducked down and hid under it. One then walked straight up to the front door and put his gloved hand on it.
They only ran when she screamed from the hallway. Police told her they probably thought a man was coming to the door.
She says sheβs been followed and targeted and doesnβt feel safe in her own home. This is the second time strangers have been at her door.
If you recognise these men or have footage from the area that night, call the police on 101 or report online quoting reference 6911-21Oct26. Call 999 if you see them.

The storm is battering West London today and Northolt has taken a hit π¬οΈ
This huge tree limb came down near Northolt station this afternoon, blocking the pavement and half the road and smashing into the back of a parked car.
It's the latest in a day of wind damage across the area, with roof tiles and bricks already coming down on a van in Uxbridge this morning.
Take care if you're out and about, especially under trees, and give fallen branches a wide berth.

Google Maps said βturn rightβ and this driver heard βtake offβ βοΈπ
Caught on a motorbike helmet cam in Harrow, a Corsa pulls out of a junction, goes straight over the traffic island, flattens the keep left bollard and gets all four wheels in the air before slamming back down in the middle of the road.
Watch it back and look at the bollard π

Heartbreaking scenes in Uxbridge this morning π
Strong winds tore bricks and roof tiles off a house and sent them crashing onto the van parked below. The windscreen is smashed and the roof and side are caved in.
A tree on the pavement outside has already been cut up and stacked, which shows how rough the wind has been. Thankfully nobody appears to have been hurt.
Someone's going to wake up to one very expensive phone call. Stay safe out there and keep an eye on where you park while this wind is about.

A 27-year-old woman has been charged after a police officer was shot in the foot at a UK city centre bus stop in the early hours of Sunday 18 October.
Aisha Zaman is charged with possession of a prohibited firearm, said in court to be an adapted shotgun, and possession of that firearm with intent to commit an indictable offence.
The officer, named in court as PC Lee Lane, was shot after approaching two people at the bus stop at around 4:50am. He remains in hospital in a stable condition and has had several surgeries.
Zaman appeared before magistrates on Friday and was remanded in custody. She is due at Crown Court on 20 November. Police say six other people have been arrested and inquiries are continuing.

A real Final Destination moment on Wembley High Road last night π³
The person who filmed this says a piece of stonework broke off a building and landed on the pavement right where someone was waiting at the bus stop.
Firefighters were called out, the bus stop was taped off and crews were seen checking the top of the building with a ladder.
Spare a thought for whoever was standing there. A few steps either way and this could have been a very different story.

This was Neasden Lane on Saturday night (24 October), at around 10:25pm. A bus and a line of cars were stuck behind a silver car, horns going, rain coming down. Then the person filming realised the car was theirs.
Fair play for owning it. Not sure the bus agreed.

The government's new advice for every household to be ready to cope alone for three days has got the whole country talking π¬π§
The guidance came out on Thursday, alongside a statement from Security Minister Dan Jarvis. It tells families to keep bottled water, food that needs no cooking, a torch, a radio and some cash at home in case power, water or phone lines go down.
Ministers say it's about storms and wildfires like the ones we've had in the past year. But it comes as concerns grow about Russian hybrid attacks and cyber threats, and many people are asking why now.
Defence Secretary Wes Streeting says he wants people to be "alert but not alarmed". Retailers have already warned that panic buying is "quite easy to generate". For many families, putting aside three days of food on top of the weekly shop is easier said than done.

Residents were left rushing to move their cars last night after flames burst out of the pavement on Lady Margaret Road, Southall.
The fire roared right beside front gardens and driveways, with people shouting βmove the car!β as one driver reversed away just in time. London Fire Brigade arrived on blue lights soon after.
People at the scene thought it could be a gas pipe or an underground electric cable. The cause hasnβt been confirmed yet.

Spun right round and left facing the wrong way π³
A car ended up facing oncoming traffic against the central reservation on the M40 near High Wycombe this afternoon, with heavy damage to the front. The outside lane was coned off while National Highways traffic officers and a road crew cleared debris, and traffic built up past the scene.
It was pouring down at the time, with standing water and spray across the carriageway. If you're driving tonight, slow down and leave extra space π

Don't forget, the clocks go back tonight β°
At 2am on Sunday 25 October, the clocks go back an hour to 1am, as British Summer Time ends.
Phones will update on their own, but the car, the oven and the microwave won't.
The upside is an extra hour in bed. The downside is the sun setting before 5pm from tomorrow, with darker evenings until the clocks go forward again on Sunday 28 March.
Send this to the one who'll turn up an hour early on Sunday π

The road just split open⦠This was Wealdstone High Street at 3:53am, with water bursting up through the tarmac outside Poundstretcher and Coral and flooding the whole street.
A burst water main is to blame. The High Street is still shut between Locket Road and Masons Avenue, 8 bus routes are diverted, and some homes nearby have low or no water.
And itβs the same stretch that flooded in June 2023 π

Not the tour anyone booked⦠A Golden Tours open-top bus hit a stand selling sightseeing tickets and souvenirs on Spring Gardens, just off Trafalgar Square, at around 12:30pm today.
The bus was reportedly turning left by The Admiralty pub when it collided with the stand. Police called it a damage-only collision, London Ambulance Service said there were no reported injuries, and fire crews from Euston, Paddington and Chelsea attended.
The area was cordoned off for nearly five hours while the bus was removed. Golden Tours says it is investigating what happened.
Thankfully no one was hurt π
