The BBC’s former chief news correspondent has confessed she was only able to cover the Chelsea Flower Show by sneaking into the BBC Library to find Brian Hanrahan’s script from the year before. 

Speaking to BBC Radio London’s Jo Good at the Chelsea Flower Show earlier she said: "I did come here when I was a reporter, once. 

"I followed the Royal party around and I couldn’t think of anything to say about it. 

"So, for the only time in my life; and I say this absolutely with hand on heart...I sneaked into the library at the BBC and got out my colleague Brian Hanrahan’s script for the year before. It’s the only time I’ve ever done that in my life and I come to Chelsea and have to confess it."

Ben Lloyd is a journalist who has been campaigning to re-open the lost lido of Peckham Rye.

He wrote to his local paper, the Peckham Peculiar, two years ago and since then locals have set up a crowdfunding campaign to re-open the forgotten swimming pool.

Southwark Council has agreed in principal to the land being used and campaigners are currently looking to raise enough money -£60,000 - to engage professionals to take the project forward.

It’s bringing together a whole range of Peckhamites, from the old and the new, across classes and cultures.

Listen to Ben talking to BBC Radio London's Robert Elms earlier:

The giant stones of Stonehenge are believed to have been dragged hundreds of miles across the countryside when it was built in prehistoric times.

But how was it done?

Students at University College London have been attempting to answer the question - with an experiment in the centre of London.

They attempted to transport a one tonne load using a wooden sledge - and lots of muscle.

PhD student Barney Harris explains.

Lancashire bowl Surrey out for 107 to wrap up a commanding innings victory on the third day at Old Trafford.

A London borough council is to move more than 200 of its families in temporary accommodation into properties at Howe Barracks in Canterbury, Kent, this summer.

The 208 properties were formerly used by the Ministry of Defence to house armed forces personnel and their families, but became available to lease in late 2015.

Canterbury City Council says it submitted a "robust and comprehensive" bid in order to secure the houses for local people on its housing register, but was unsuccessful, losing out to the London Borough of Redbridge, "a council with financial resources far in excess of Canterbury, and located more than 60 miles away and on the other side of London."

The BBC is calling for amateur musicians to perform Bizet's Toreador song, from Carmen, at the Proms.

A "virtual orchestra" will be created to play the piece, conducted by Marin Alsop and supported by musicians from the Royal Academy of Music.

Everyone from beginners to lapsed musicians are being encouraged to apply by sending a video of their performance to the Get Playing website.

The best entries will be cut together and played at Proms in the Park events.

"It's a big event, because it's the first time the Last Night of the Proms will include anything by amateur musicians," said comedian David Baddiel, who is acting as an ambassador for the Virtual Orchestra.

Hitherto unknown as a pianist, Baddiel has already filmed his contribution. He will also appear with the BBC Concert Orchestra and introduce the finished film at Proms In The Park in Hyde Park on Saturday, 10 September.

British expats have lost their battle in the Supreme Court for the right to vote in the EU referendum. 

The highest court in the land upheld decisions of both the High Court and Court of Appeal that they are not eligible to vote on 23 June because they have lived outside the UK for more than 15 years.

The test case ruling was a defeat for London-born war veteran Harry Shindler, 95, who has lived in Italy for 35 years, and solicitor Jacquelyn MacLennan, 54, from Inverness, who has lived in Belgium since 1987. 

They argued that the 15-year rule, contained in Section 2 of the EU Referendum Act 2015, was an unjustified restriction on their EU right to freedom of movement and an infringement of their common law right to vote.

What were you doing at 06:34 this morning?

You were probably lugging yourself out of bed, yawning a lot, making a cup of coffee or, if you're anything like us, singing the new Little Mix song at the top of your lungs in the shower.

She's only there for eight weeks though, so UK fans had better get their skates on if they want to catch her.

A paralysed woman who was banned from competing in a 10k race in a "bionic" suit has been told she can now enter.

Organisers of the Vitality London 10k had said Claire Lomas could not take part because UK Athletics rules prohibited motors.

She walked the London Marathon in 17 days in the suit after she broke her back in a horse-riding accident.

Ms Lomas said she was "grateful" organisers will allow her to run as an "unofficial" entry.

On Twitter, she said she would get a medal if she completed the course.

Jodie Marsh and vet Marc Abraham took part in a protest outside the Palace of Westminster against puppy farming earlier.

She told Daily Politics reporter Giles Dilnot: "You’ll end up spending thousands on vets bills because the dog is so sick."

Celebrities, MPs and charities gathered outside the Houses of Parliament, calling for the government to ban the sale of puppies in pet shops and by dealers.

London Assembly member Keith Prince, Conservative transport spokesperson, said: “Sadiq Khan promised ‘zero days’ of public transport strikes on his watch but just 19 days into his mayoralty he looks to have failed to keep that pledge.

“He criticised Boris for failing to placate the unions over the Night Tube, yet with barely one foot through the door of City Hall he has already ensured further disruption to London this summer with news of more strikes.

“Sadiq Khan must have been dreaming when he promised he would prevent industrial action by ‘rolling up his sleeves and talking to everyone’. 

"If he’s serious about ending strikes on London’s public transport he should back calls to ban them altogether. If not then Londoners will rightly assume that he’s unwilling to stand up to his union paymasters.”
