  1. Interesting piece about The Museum of London.

    It looks as if the Guardian will have to issue a correction to its correction:
    ” This article was amended on 19 August 2024 [….] part of the museum will be situated underground at the same level as passing Thameslink trains, not Crosslink trains as stated in an earlier version.”

  2. There are definitely some places in the UK where the absence of a 20mph zone is notable (and needed). Quite a few roads on the Isle of Wight, for example, would be sensible candidates for 20mph (and the islands should have fewer roads which are subject to default national speed limit).
