The residential region, London City North has had a bit of a make-over. The lake now extends to the west, connecting the waterways to London City West and the Seaside.
London City's version of Percy Thrower, (Ernie), has been out busily re-planting summer shrubs, tidying up some of the gardens and setting up bird boxes and feeding tables to bring more wildlife to the area.
From the litter bin that brought you, Oculus Rift, London Tits, Steam Powered Wheelchair, Personal Balloon Propulsion System, The NHS Wig, Private Jet, Hoola Hoop and a hundred other totally useless items......
It is our great pleasure to announce the star prize...
Presenting, The Animated Orthopedic Shoe, with Walker and Standing AO.

Rush over now to the Litter Bin in Regent's Park to see what your lucky prize is today!

A recent spate of nuisance players of the Pyramid style game, 'Bloodlines' has led to a change in our covenant.
To protect residents visiting London City, any activity we detect such as TP's offered to new residents by clan members, or active Attack HUDs, will result in the removal of the offenders.
Those playing Bloodlines are reminded that hunting on non-role play estates such as London City is considered as harassment.
We ask that visitors help our Support team to 'weed the garden', by reporting Vampire/Lycan activity.

Brace yourselves, they're on their way and in great British style, the storms will arrive at "tea time".
Where else on the planet, is "tea time" a recognized time of day, except in Blighty?
The Met Office has issued Amber alerts for most of the UK for today and tomorrow, with an inch of rain and hour falling throughout this evening and tomorrow.

Well, Saturday night at eight o'clock, I know where I'm gonna go... To the
Drifters Beach Concert in London City!
Spanning fifty
years (and counting) and with sixty Drifters members so far, this is America's
longest running band.
Their songs include, Saturday Night at The Movies, More Than a Number in my Little Red
Book, On Broadway, Kissin' In The Back Row of The Movies, There Goes My Baby,
This Magic Moment and many many more.
The Party
starts at 12pm SL (8pm UK) and The Drifters are on stage at 1pm SL.
Whatever you're doing today, enjoy the weather and don't forget to drink plenty of fluids, especially lashings of Hobgoblin.
With temperatures in London expected to reach 92F, today is the hottest day so far this year.
If you think this is freak weather, think again, only last year on 1st July it was 98F at Heathrow.
However, back in 2003 temperatures reached 102F which would make today seem positively chilly. If you remember that 8 day heatwave, don't forget to wrap up warm today.
The hottest nighttime on record was back in 1990 when it was 75F, but we're going to get close to that today, with an overnight of 71F.
To all those who turned out for the Pride Parade in RL London yesterday, thank you for celebrating this landmark event.
With social attitudes so utterly changed in the UK, where it hasn't mattered a jot in many years who you love, it is sometimes hard to believe that this was once a crime and remained unacceptable long after abolition.
30 thousand people took to the streets of London yesterday to celebrate 50 years since the decriminalization of homosexuality. Whilst it remained a taboo subject for many years after, the British open and inclusive society we find ourselves in today, has evolved so much in the past 20 years. One can only hope that these frontiers of freedom will one day be accepted the world over.
Last night, London City presented to a packed house, the premier of the Fleetwood Mac show.
Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
Join us again today for Substation at 11am SL, and Worlds End Pub Quiz at 1pm SL, and pop in throughout the day, there are always some great people to meet in London City.
Heralding even closer ties with the UK today, President Trump announces at the G20 summit that the USA and UK will have a trade deal "Very very quickly".
