Sky sports views! Stunning images of London's iconic sporting venues captured from police helicopters

From the majesty of the Olympic Stadium to the charms of Wimbledon's All England Lawn Tennis Club, London is dotted with some of the world's top sporting venues.

Now sports - and architecture fans - are able to enjoy a bird's eye view of their favourite stadia and venues from an unlikely source.

In between travelling to jobs, helicopters from the Metropolitan Police Service's Air Support Unit capture images of the capital via an iPhone and post them to social media sites Twitter and Instagram.
The accounts have become a huge success with more than 75,000 followers 'liking' and 'retweeting' images posted from London's skies.

The home of Surrey County Cricket Club and scene of many memorable moments for England is found in Kennington, south London.

"Love and War in the Apennines" on Radio 4

The memoir "Love and War in the Apennines" by Kennington resident the late Eric Newby was discussed on "A Good Read" on Radio 4 on 4th February.  It is a favourite book of the presenter Harriett Gilbert.  Other participants mentioned Eric's bravery, and asked whether Eric and Wanda really fell in love under those conditions.

Harriett Gilbert had asked her mother whether Wanda was still alive, and her mother had assured her that Wanda must be, because she was tough.  And indeed Wanda is very much alive and still living in Kennington.

Eric Newby gave a collection of his books to the Durning Library, and gave a memorable reading from the book there a few summers ago.

The repeat is this Friday night, 7th February.  You can listen again for a week.
