A trio of friends are set to arrive back in London soon after navigating the world in a 20-year-old black cab, complete with a mortgage-inducing fare of £80,000 for their London to Sydney journey. Read More >

Apparently around 50 people are squished on our railways every year while they try to cross or hang around on the metal roads. Network Rail's tried and failed in the past to educate people, but this time it's trying the shock and awe tactic, recruiting our 400m Olympic hurdler to do it too. Read More >

In 2012, we are truly living in the ‘foldaway age’ – almost everything around us can be folded up and stored safely, whether it be ironing boards, beds, dead spies, or even bicycles. Yes – imagine! Read More >

There’s nothing worse than finally stepping out of work, hurrying to the train station, only to find that your train route is totally screwed and you’re going to be stuck there for hours. How about a free app to give you the heads-up so you can (hopefully) avoid that crap and get home? Read More >

Like news of a Brangelina engagement or major world event, news of London's Bakerloo line tunnel collapsing at Embankment station has reached the ears of Twitter first, with TFL confirming "an obstruction in [the] tunnel at Embankment" and almost the whole Bakerloo line suspended. An hour after the first Twitter Chinese whispers, no-one's still 100 per cent sure what exactly happened down there. Read More >

It’s going to be so unbelievably rammed in London by the time the Olympics roll around; hell for anyone who lives or works in the capital that's for sure.

If you’re anything like me you’ve been lusting after the new Lamborghini Aventador since it was launched. Sadly, again like me, you’re probably never going to have enough money to afford one, but how about a Lambo bike instead? It’s a snip at only £16,400. Read More >

We've all seen these ridiculously-equipped SUVs designed for wealthy oligarchs before. They're full of stained-wood accents, plush leather seating, and everything from big-screen TVs to coffee makers. But this is the first time we've seen one with a full-on exercise machine inside. Read More >

What you see above is every route every bus takes in London every day. Viewed from above, it’s strangely reminiscent of the orbital night time shots of cities and roads like the M25, and shares a similar kind of beauty. In fact, when the data is viewed with stops included, it almost looks like blood vessels flowing around the body – the pumping tributaries of a modern city. Read More >

All of us have got more and more data these days and if there’s one thing about data it’s that you need somewhere to keep it all. Luckily, there’s ‘cloud-based’ storage from Dropbox and (as of next week probably) Google, but the trusty hard drive isn’t dead just yet. Read More >

After a myriad of delays, the final stages of the £60m cable car over the Thames that connects Greenwich and the O2 Arena with the Royal Docks just across the river are being put into place. All three supporting towers are now up and one of the 1.1km steel cables stretching over the water is set undergoing testing; the project is apparently s on track to complete before the Olympics, but unfortunately neither you nor I will be able to ride it initially.

Flying cars are the Jetsons dream that never came true. But wait, some Dutch dudes have cobbled together a weird-ass helicar contraption that combines all the worst, most impractical elements of car and helicopter into one amazingly expensive prototype! Thank goodness. Read More >

London’s in the midst of preparations for the onslaught of Olympic tourists – even TfL’s given the humble tube map an Olympian-infused makeover.
