Before you go down the pub, catch-up on everything that you have missed this week:

The Scoop
The chaps and chapettes at SE13ZURE have this to say about Snipe’s new Scoop site: The Scoop is shaping up to be a really good source of serious London journalism. See for yourself.

1. Assembly member attacks foot tunnel ‘incompetence’
2. Lewisham Council pushes through library closures
3. Lambeth Council leader broke standards rules
4. Woolwich set for Crossrail station after all
5. Thames Cable Car delayed following crash fears
6. Boris Johnson’s electric car revolution loses its spark
7. Ken takes lead over Boris in Mayoral race

We’ve also set up a tipline: email the Scoop team at scoop@snipe.at if something in your Borough needs the harsh light of a moderately-trafficked website upon it.

In Art, Lauren Down has a week’s worth of amazing art picks. and we take a look at the next four years on the Fouth Plinth of Trafalgar Square.

In Books, Jon Davis discusses The 18th Century, putting the pornography into poetry

In The Metropolis, Michael Pollitt rounds-up the best Internet memes of the week, helps you win every argument, and we approve—approve!—of something Toby Young did.

But lastly, before you’re off, take a moment to listen to a week of Tom Jenkin’s lovingly curated MPFree’s.
