Clarion Housing Group has appointed The Hill Group as the main contractor for its Clare House redevelopment in Tower Hamlets, which will deliver 145 new homes for social rent.

The scheme will provide high-quality, genuinely affordable homes for local people, supporting the London Borough of Tower Hamlets in addressing acute housing need while contributing to the wider regeneration of the area.

A new south-west London neighbourhood designed around green space, wellbeing and community is taking shape in Streatham Vale, bringing stylish new homes, landscaped gardens and community infrastructure to one of Lambeth’s fastest-evolving areas. Barratt London’s newest mixed-use development, Streatham Common Junction, is now selling off-plan, with homes starting from £380,000.

For National Shrimp Day (Sunday 10th May), Shrimp Shack – the sensational seafood restaurant in Streatham and Camden – is giving away FREE shrimp.

But, there’s a catch. Shrimp fans must know the secret password in order to be in with a chance of getting the free shrimp.

Diners must quote ‘I love shrimp’ to any member of staff in order to get a free portion of Zingy Salt ‘n’ Pepper Shrimps.

However, they will have to act quick as there is a limited number of free portions being given out at both sites.

New research commissioned by Beavertown has found that while 87% of Londoners say their friends are some of the most important people in their lives, over half (54%) have never told a mate they love them.

To address this, Beavertown has partnered with suicide prevention charity Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) to lauch ‘Tell a Mate Why You Love Them’ this Valentine’s Day. Fronted by real life friends Joe Marler and Chris Stark, the nationwide campaign challenges men to get past the discomfort and say how they really feel.
