A Timelapse Video Of Fires From The Tottenham Riots – 1 Year Anniversary
One year ago tonight the Tottenham Riots kicked off. It seems like ages ago now. This is a great timelapse video I found via reddit user Lucid_Nonsense of the fires caused by the riots. It was created by Prokopi Constantinou, score by Dogtanion. I think it is a low key way of remembering the madness that every so often seems to engulf London.
New Trailer For Bond Movie – Skyfall – Features London Rather Prominently
Hot of the heals of playing James Bond at the Olympic opening ceremonies, Daniel Craig is back for the upcoming Bond film Skyfall. Based on the trailer it looks as though London will be a major setting in the film. Watch out for MI6 and the Tube. I won’t ruin anything else from the trailer, but looks like a typical action packed Bond film.
Cringeworthy Team USA Learning To Speak Cockney Videos
The following 5 videos are either some of the best parodies ever or just totally miss the mark. Either way, it’s sure to be about the most cringeworthy thing you’ll watch all day.

Happiest Worker At London 2012 Olympics
You’ve likely already seen this video, but if not you’re in for a treat. The perfect level of deadpan humour and sarcasm to get through what looks like an incredibly dull job. Cheers to the London Olympic Committee for not trying to take down the video and having a sense of humour.
Olympic Vermin – Animated Alternative Torch Relay
Great original animation by Amael Isnard and Leo Bridle. Shows what the torch relay might have looked like if it had been run by London’s less popular animals (who also happen to be animated). The short film was animated by Beakus (please don’t use doorway pages) with sound by Aaron Lampert.
The 5 Must Use Websites To Enjoy, Tolerate Or Survive The Games
As of me writing this there are a little over 12 hours to go before the opening ceremonies of the London 2012 Olympic Games. At this point I’m sure you emotions range somewhere between sheer bliss to seething violent anger. I suspect for most of us, we’ll do our best to enjoy the games despite the disruptions to our lives.
To help I thought it might be good to look at 5 websites that can help you to enjoy the games, even if you don’t have a single ticket to any event. As a friend of mine recently said, The Olympics only come once a lifetime so let’s try to enjoy them.
London2012.com – Official site of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. If you want the official goings on, this is your first stop.
BBC Sport – Olympics – London 2012 – The BBC’s coverage of all the Olympic events. Allows you to customise news stories to your interests and has links to online video of all the Games highlights.
Life inside the London 2012 Olympic Park – Run by Andy Wilke (whom I was lucky enough to meet in person this past Wednesday) – Life inside the London 2012 Olympic Park is a look at the whole building of the park from start to opening ceremonies to the legacy of the site. Andy is truly an amazing person and hasn’t earned one penny from Life Inside. Even more remarkable in an era where stories about Olympic sponsors dominate the media.
London Prepares – From their about page “London Prepares was established immediately following the 2012 ticketing lottery results, after hearing the BBC estimate that 11 out of 12 Londoners weren’t fortunate enough to get tickets to the games.” Basically the site aims to bring you the all the alternative events you can go to, if you don’t have tickets for the Games themselves (or even if you do).
Get Ahead of the Games – Your source of information about travel disruptions, delays or downright chaos. Includes information not only for London, but the UK as a whole. Alternatively, you can just use the Service Update From TFL.
