Originally there were 24, one for each Apollo astronaut, but now just 16 remain. In situ since at least 1990, their provenance was a mystery until a 2018 local newspaper article confirmed the British Interplanetary Society on nearby South Lambeth Road as behind their installation. Londonist has reported on the 'Astronaut Trees' previously, but before the mystery was solved. ...

It’s Christmas (in case you hadn’t noticed). Which means buying stuff (among other things).

... An extension was later added to the line, with through services starting in 1908 and running from Highbury, further north than Angel, reaching Holborn, then branching out either south to Kennington or east to Tower Bridge.

It was quickly discovered that the Kennington service was not commercially viable, and so services were extended to Queens Road in Battersea instead, although the low bridge meant only single decker trams could run on that part of the line.

While it may seem strange to think about these now, double decker trams were brought in during the 1920s as a way of the subway remaining profitable.

As the years went on, routes were changed and extended across the tramway network. By 1931, the routes were Hackney to Wandsworth or Tooting, Highbury to Waterloo or Norbury, Archway to Kennington and Leyton to Westminster. ...
