This week: Boris Johnson inadvertently makes the case for Lords reform, some notes on the Holy Roman Empire, and a map of the long lost tram network of Leeds.

This week: it’s time to weaponise NIMBYism; the Bethnal Green tube disaster; and all roads lead to Rome.

This week: a tale of two infrastructure investments; some notes on the popularity of surnames; and why is north not where we think it is?

This week: what does Boris Johnson actually think he is playing at? Also: the unnerving southern-ness of Canada; and I have some thoughts about Crossrail.

On the proposed naming of the London Overground lines.
