London is a board game by Martin Wallace. Released in 2010, the game requires players to rebuild London after the Great Fire of London up until the start of the 20th century. London is a card-driven game with a board in the form of a map of London. It won a Meeples Choice award in 2010 and was nominated for an International Gamers Award in 2011.
To rebuild London players purchase boroughs on the board and play cards from their deck. The cards represent buildings of economic, political, scientific, and cultural significance throughout the history of the city. This includes general constructions such as bridges, coffee houses, and hospitals, along with famous landmarks such as Woolwich Arsenal, and Tower Bridge. Players must choose which buildings they wish to construct based on the benefits that each card will give them. The management of poverty is central to the game and players can lose a significant number of victory points if they have accrued more poverty points than their opponents.
She has toured internationally with The Weeknd and was also nominated for the Sound of 2014 award by the BBC and an MTV Brand New Nominee in 2014. On May 3, 2014, Banks was dubbed as an "Artist to Watch" by FoxWeekly.
Early life
Jillian Rose Banks was born in Orange County, California. Banks started writing songs at the age of fifteen. She taught herself piano when she received a keyboard from a friend to help her through her parents' divorce. She says she "felt very alone and helpless. I didn't know how to express what I was feeling or who to talk to."
Career
2013–present: Breakthrough and Goddess
Banks used the audio distribution website SoundCloud to put out her music before securing a record deal. Her friend Lily Collins used her contacts to pass along her music to people in the industry; specifically Katy Perry's DJ Yung Skeeter, and she began working with the label Good Years Recordings. Her first official single, called "Before I Ever Met You" was released in February 2013. The song which had been on a private SoundCloud page ended up being played by BBC Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe. Banks released her first EP Fall Over by IAMSOUND Records and Good Years Recordings.Billboard called her a "magnetic writer with songs to obsess over." Banks released her second EP called London by Harvest Records and Good Years Recordings in 2013 to positive reviews from music critics, receiving a 78 from Metacritic. Her song "Waiting Game" from the EP was featured in the 2013 Victoria's Secret holiday commercial.
London and the Thames were named in 1793 by Lord Simcoe, who proposed the site for the capital of Upper Canada. The first European settlement was between 1801 and 1804 by Peter Hagerman. The village was founded in 1826 and incorporated in 1855. Since then, London has grown to be the largest Southwestern Ontario municipality and Canada's 11th largest municipality, having annexed many of the smaller communities that surrounded it.
London is a regional centre of health care and education, being home to the University of Western Ontario, Fanshawe College, and several hospitals. The city hosts a number of musical and artistic exhibits and festivals, which contribute to its tourism industry, but its economic activity is centred on education, medical research, insurance, and information technology. London's university and hospitals are among its top ten employers. London lies at the junction of Highway 401 and 402, connecting it to Toronto, Windsor, and Sarnia. It also has an international airport, train and bus station.

A riverside pathway in Twickenham, River Crane, 2023
This video showcases a new pathway along the River Crane, linking Twickenham Station with Moormead Park. The 400 metre route, and associated wooded corridor, has been provided as part of the Twickenham Station re-development scheme, and further extends the walking network along the Crane Valley.
The pathway was included as a planning condition when the station re-development was approved, and implementation has been supported by the developer and LB Richmond upon Thames through a Development Monitoring Group.
The new pathway is available for the public to use from dawn until dusk and offers some new River Crane vistas. Ownership of the pathway will be retained by the developer. It is hoped that this new pathway will prove as popular as Twickenham Junction Rough (opposite the statio...

River Crane Seasonal Changes
A short video that features a collection of photographs of the River Crane taken between 2019 and 2022 from Cranford Park Bridge in the London Borough of Hillingdon. The sequence shows how the river channel and river banks change across the seasons.
The River Crane is an urban watercourse that has been heavily engineered over the years, often for flood prevention purposes. And as can be clearly seen from this video, the channel immediately downstream of Cranford Park Bridge is now wide and very straight. This is not unusual on the Crane system. Ideally though, the channel would be more sinuous and less uniform in cross-section, helping to restore the river's natural form and function. Restoration and naturalisation of the river is a key aim of the Crane Valley Partnership.

The new pathway is available for the public to use from dawn until dusk and offers some new River Crane vistas. Ownership of the pathway will be retained by the developer. It is hoped that this new pathway will prove as popular as Twickenham Junction Rough (opposite the station) which was delivered through a similar process and is now used by around 1000 people on summer Sundays according to survey work undertaken by the Friends Of the River Crane Environment (FORCE).
