England Headcannon ʚɞ

Sometimes, I think Arthur's house would be a dull empty two bedroom flat in south London: ugly cream carpet, a ratty old sofa, a coffee table littered with cigarettes and cans of fosters.

Then other times, I feel he would have a place that is so unbelievably homely: he would have plants everywhere, not house plants but the proper potted kind you bring in for the winter ready to replant in spring; there would be tapestries all over the wall, a home-made quilt, embroidered pillow slips; books thrown everywhere, at least four copies of wuthering heights, and he's currently using Shakespeare plays as make-shift coasters.

But the home is not just his. There's a porcelain tea set missing half its teacups, France commissioned him a new set to match the old but he took too much creative liberty and so they only thing they have in common is the shade of green of the floral detailing. The breakfast bar is a shitty plastic thing he found on the side of the road, and its covered in coffee stains and burn marks, courtesy of America. There's always dishes in the sink and yet never any groceries in the fridge, just corner-shop cakes and a punnet of strawberries. Canada leaves sticky notes when he's around, 'buy bread' and 'stop putting the sauces in the draw once they've been opened', and Arthur neglects them for so long they can be found in the back of the cupboards and all over the floor. Peter tore a not-so-covert hole in the voile curtain over the window years ago, and Australia has slammed his door open so many times there's a dent in the wall from the doorknob.

I just really believe Arthur is sooo loved. Like sure, there's beer cans and disposable vapes and furniture from the side of the road, but there's also so much family and love squeezed into that shitty two bedroom flat.

Chapter: 6

Sebastian had been sitting in the study for the past couple hours, reading all the letters and news clipping at his disposal. Edith was dedicated, he’d give her that much. Looking at everything she had, everything circled, questions written in the margins, was something akin to a madman. It was clear to him she meant what she had said earlier; the only thing that mattered to her right now was finding Anne. They’d find her for sure with Edith in their corner; he knew they would, he just hoped it was in time.

Reading over the letters from Anne was like a stab in the gut. He tried to focus on what Anne was saying in each letter but there was no denying the glaring fact that Anne had been lying to Ominis and him this entire time. She was fully aware of their reasons behind becoming auroras, and even going so far as to mourn her at the memorial. She must’ve had her own reasons, and he would bet every galleon he owned it was mostly Edith’s doing, yet he felt hurt. It helped how every other letter Anne made mention to Edith how she should let Ominis and him know somehow she wasn’t actually dead. Seeing how that never occured he could assume what Edith’s response was.

Restlessness was rampant inside him, and with a heavy sigh, he tossed the letter he had been reading to the floor in front of him. He enjoyed reading to the point he could do it for hours, but even he still needed a break every so often. Getting up, he decided to head downstairs for a drink and possible snack. As he walked, he got a better look at everything. The walls didn’t have many photos hanging on it, the occasional art piece every so often. The walls were mostly bare, only the wallpaper decorating the home. He could see faint old outlines of where photos used to hang at some point, but were removed. It was very vague; it had been some time since whatever was hanging in those spots had been removed. As lovely as this place was, Sebastian questioned how she was able to get such a lovely place all to herself with all the furniture it had. As far as he knew, making money as a criminal didn’t pay very well, unless said criminal was robbing the ministry. He never got any reports of the Masked Wizard doing anything like that; she mostly involved herself with things to do with magic crazed goblins, poachers, and dark wizards. She was mostly wanted for her use of the Unforgivables, being an unregistered animagus and alleged murderer of Hogwarts child hero, herself. None of that seemed like it was rewarded with much coin, especially enough to own a whole house in London.

As he reached the main floor, Sebastian heard Edith’s house elf moving about in the parlor. She sounded a little disgruntled, struggling with something. Seeing as how he didn’t have anything to do at the moment, he went to check on the elf.

When he entered the room he found her next to a large pail of water while two other pails floated behind. She had a brown sack open off to the right of the parlor, under the window. It seemed like she had spilled some of the water onto the floor. She was currently trying to clean it up with a wooden mop.

“Are you alright?” Sebastian questioned as he came close. The small elf just beamed up aim, brightening up immediately.

“Oh Mr.Sebastian! Yes, Penny is fine. Just made a small spill trying to get the beasts’ bath ready!” She explained.

“Beasts? As in magical beasts?” Sebastian frowned in confusion. Edith had magical beasts? Where in Merlin’s name was she keeping them?! This place was so small, and he didn’t see any vivarium entrances.

“Oh yes! Miss Edith loves her magical beasts very much. She told Penny she couldn’t bear to leave them behind. And the beasts seem very fond of Miss Edith as well!” Penny seemed so excited to explain it.

“Well where does she keep them?” Sebastian blinked, taken back. So she brought her magical beasts from Hogwarts with her when she left? How did she manage that? He didn’t even know she had magical beasts. The last he could recall Edith promised she’d show Ominis and him around her Room of Requirement. That was one of the promises she never kept considering that promise was made the day she left Hogwarts.

“In here!” Penny gestured to the large brown sack sitting in front of her. It was a worn leather sack with a few faded patches placed about it. It had bronze metal corners at the bottom of it with matching claps at the top under the handle. It clearly had seen many uses from how worn out it was. He was surprised it wasn’t falling apart.

“Edith keeps the beasts in here?”

“Oh Certainly! Penny will show you!” Penny stepped into the open sack, having snapped her fingers to make the broom disappear. As a courtesy he took the pail of water from her, and followed behind. He watched as the elf disappeared into the sack, lowering down slowly. Unsure, he stepped into the sack, feeling his foot land on something sturdy. Lowering his other foot, he found another serdy step. Before he knew it he was making his way down a ladder into the sack that should have been much smaller.

When he finally descended the ladder, he found himself in a small open room with books, and plants. It wasn’t very big, but did have a small wooden staircase with a railing along the edge across from the ladder. Going up to the railing, Sebastian could see a larger open space with many magical beasts all in different sections of the room, down below. There were two more levels. The one directly below him was filled with small to medium beasts. An enclosure for nifflers with a large tree surrounded by shiny golden things was placed next to a grass field enclosure with puffskeins. The level also had a family of diricawls, and kneazles in other enclosures further along the left side wall. Up above, hanging from the ceiling were many large bird houses; they hung low enough for him to see the fwoopers, and jobberknolls that nested in them. There was even a phoenix flying around, every so often landing on its nest that was perched along the opposite wall. The furthest right side wall mimicked a mountain side with a long path leading up to a long ledge where the nest sat. The birds flew around the entire place in content, seemingly at home in this wondrous place.

Far down below was the third level, the largest space for much larger magical beasts. It appeared there was a dark forest on the third level for the unicorns he could see. From what he could see, the giant purple toads and mooncalf were placed between the unicorns and thestrals. He could also hear hippogriffs and possibly graphorns but couldn’t see where exactly they were.

“Merlin’s beard…This place is incredible!” Sebastian was at a loss for words, completely having forgotten Penny was there. He quickly sped down the stairs to the first level, filled with excitement and awe. The creatures hardly paid Sebastian any mind, they mostly looked at him with curiosity. They were, however, very familiar with Penny. Many of the birds perched themselves along the railing nearest Penny. The beasts in pens came up to the enclosure gates.

“Penny agrees. Miss Edith cares so deeply for her beasts, she wanted to make sure everything was perfect for them.” Penny smiled so happily as she moved towards a wooden bin he assumed was a feeder. She opened the bin to grab different kinds of food for the beasts. She moved over to the enclosure to feed the beast their retrospected foods.

“Miss Edith always seems happiest when she is with the beasts. It makes Penny very happy.” Penny spoke fondly as the nifflers and kneazles took their food. Sebastian remembered how much trouble Edith and Poppy would cause thanks to their shared love of beasts. He was pretty sure all the times Edith went out fighting poachers, Poppy was there right alongside her.

“Now, Penny must get the beasts ready for baths. Miss Edith enjoys bathing them, but it takes a while to set up, so Penny prepares everything for Miss Edith.” Penny turned towards him reaching for the pail of water he had brought down. He noticed that the other pails had followed them down as well.

“Can’t you just pop in and out like elves normally do?” Sebastian questioned carefully handing the bucket to the elf.

“Miss Edith created this place with magic that protects unwanted visitors from entering any other way beside the entrance. Almost all of the beasts were once victims of nasty poachers, and Miss Edith wanted to ensure no harm would fall upon them. So Penny can’t magically enter the sack. Penny has to use the entrance like everyone else.” Penny explained as she began to walk down the stairs to the third floor with the pails.

Following behind her, Sebastian made it to the bottom floor, seeing all the massive beasts around. The pens for each creature expanded out and were sectioned off by wooden walls. There was an archway on the side of the faux mountainside on the far right. The rocky path that led up to the phoenix's nest was next to the archway. The archway seemed to lead into a small bright room filled with plants, both magical and non magical. He even saw glimpses of a large venomous tentacula at the far end near some vegetables.

The stairs ended in the center of the area where a shack was placed. It appeared that the shack at the center was filled with tools for both the animals and gardening, as well as toys for the beasts. The animal enclosures surrounded the open space; each space seemed to mimic what each creature needed as a habitat. Within each pen had a large tin filled with water, and had brushes to the side of them. Penny brought the pails she had over to the graphorns’ pin. The tub was nearly filled with the water, but looked to still have some filling to do.

“There has to be a better way to fill up these tubs.” Sebastian thought aloud as he looked the place over. Perhaps he could make a pulley system that would allow Penny to easily lower and raise pails of water.

“Penny uses magic to lift two pails of water and carries one. Penny doesn’t mind it; Penny loves helping Miss Edith!” Penny brushed off, pouring the pails into the tin for the graphorns. Sebastian still examined the area. He wanted to help as well. This place was amazing, and they shouldn’t have to work so hard to keep the animals taken care of.

He noticed high above there was a branch coming off from the nifflers’ tree. It stopped right above the top floor railing.

“I have an idea. Got any rope Penny?” Sebastian asked excitedly as he raced up the stairs. Penny followed behind with some rope she pulled from the shack. With the rope in hand, Sebastian went about trying to set up something for her to make the job easier. He ended up getting lost in his little project while Penny went about her business with the animals, helping whenever Sebastian asked. It ended up taking some time but he was able to get something useful made, even helped Penny lower filled buckets and raise empty ones.

“Mr.Sebastian, you are incredible!” Penny praised once all the water tubs were completely filled and the pulley system was fully functional. Sebastian was a bit proud of himself; he was able to help in a little way.

“It’s nothing. I’m just glad I could help. This will make getting baths ready way more easier.”

“Agreed. Miss Edith will greatly appreciate it.” Penny beamed, reminding Sebastian who’s magical sack he was currently in.

“Right.” He had completely forgotten about Edith for a moment. He was so lost in this amazing place and wanting to help he completely forgot he was most likely trespassing. If Edith had wanted him to see this, he was sure she would’ve shown him herself. Though since it was Penny who showed him, maybe she wouldn’t be nearly as upset. She did seem to care about her house a great deal. She practically turned to jelly when Penny greeted her at the door last night; her prickly shell softening immediately.

“Since all the baths are ready for the beasts, Penny should go prepare supper.” Penny informed as she headed towards the archway leading to the garden. Curious Sebastian followed her to the room.

Sebastian immediately felt blanketed by the warmth from the room as he entered. Closing his eyes it felt so peaceful reminding him of summer time back in Feldcroft. It was comforting and relaxing, also perfect for this small garden Edith had created. She seemed to be growing plenty of things he could cook with as well as many magical plants to brew potions with.

“She’s really got herself set up here doesn’t she?” Sebastian mumbled looking over her garden.

“Oh yes. Miss Edith has a great deal of effort into making this place. It seems like Miss Edith is always improving upon this place to make it better.” Penny had started to remove some carrots that were ready to harvest.

“Mr.Sebastian, if you’d like, will you grab some of those potatoes?” Penny grinned pointing over to the risen garden patch.

“Of course.” He walked over and began to dig out some potatoes. Thankfully he wasn’t unfamiliar with harvesting vegetables. In Feldcroft, Anne had started growing her own foods as well, and he even occasionally helped some of the farmers in the hamlet for coin. It helped him stay busy during the summer when it was just him by himself.

“Did Edith…ever talk about us? Me and Ominis that is?” Sebastian questioned as he dug. He doubted Edith would tell Penny everything, but if she knew something, maybe she’d tell him. He felt it might be grasping at straws till he finally confronted her. He’d get those answers eventually; he had a right to know why she left without so much as a letter, after everything they did. After everything she did for him.

“Miss Edith doesn’t enjoy talking about the past very much,” Sebastian sighed defeatedly. Of course she didn’t.

“But she does mention how sometimes she wishes to go back. She always seems sad thinking about the past. Miss Edith did tell Penny that eventually once she was done finding a permanent cure for Miss Anne, she was going to give up being a dark wizard.” Penny continued, focused on pulling the last carrot needed. Sebastian immediately snapped his gaze over to the elf in shock. She was only a dark wizard for Anne?!

“What?!”

“That was of course after a particularly hard night. Penny feared for Miss Edith’s health that night. Poor Miss Edith broke into a terrible fever after…..” Penny continued lost in thought before she quickly stopped, eyes gone wide. She immediately dropped everything and covered her mouth. Guess she wasn't exactly supposed to say that.

“...Oh no. Penny was not supposed to say that.” The elf suddenly looked like she was going to cry. Sebastian immediately sat up with his hands up in defense.

“No. No. No, don't cry. It’s fine. I won’t say anything. I promise.” Sebastian hastily consoled the elf. Damn. Way to go Sebastian, making the elf cry now. He mentally kicked himself as he tried to cheer her up.

“Hey don’t worry, ok? Even I can tell Edith really cares about you, so I doubt she’ll be super mad. Cheer up.” Sebastian comforted her. There was no way Edith would be super mad, probably a little annoyed but somehow he felt that annoyance would fall on him for even trying to get information out of the elf.

“Penny still feels bad. Penny really tries to stop talking, but it just comes out.” Penny sniffed, looking like she was a kicked puppy. Sebastian’s little heart clenched for her. He got up and patted the top of her flower hat.

“It’s alright. I promise. I’ll keep this between us. Here let me take these up.” He smiled down at her while holding his hands out for her carrot batch. She looked up to him, before giving him a small smile.

“Thank you Mr.Sebastian. Miss Edith is very lucky to have friends like you.” Penny thanked as she placed the carrots on top of the potatoes he had gathered. He had to fight the urge to retort a snide comment. He just took the vegetables and began to head upstairs, outside of the sack. Once he was finally back outside, he noticed the sun was almost sunset. The sky was beautifully bright but the sun was low. He hadn’t realized how much time had passed while he was down there.

He went to the kitchen and placed the vegetables on the island counter for Penny. As she stood there he let their conversation sink in. Edith was a dark wizard for Anne, and she was planning on giving up that life once Anne was completely cured. Was that why she left in the first place? But why didn’t she talk to Ominis and him about it? His mind began to race with all sorts of questions, but no answers presented themselves to him. It was beyond frustrating. Edith had all the answers but was so damn secretive and for what reason?! It wasn’t like Sebastian could’ve ever judged her for her choices. He had no room. As Ominis said, everyone did bad things sometimes, regardless of the reasons. She couldn’t possibly do anything worse than he did…hopefully.

As he let his brain toss and turn to the point of a headache, an idea popped into his head. Definitely something he would get in trouble for…if he was caught. He waited for Ominis’ voice of reason to pop into his head, but he could hardly hear it. So, in very much Sallow fashion, he quickly raced up the stairs to the third floor to sneak into a room he was probably forbidden from entering.

“Old habits die hard, I guess,” he mumbled to himself as he walked up to the first door on the left. The room next to the study. The room Edith didn’t show to them on her tour, and had spent all last night pacing around in. Curiosity was the main factor, but a part of him knew he might find some answers in there as well. Maybe she was holding out information crucial to finding Anne.

As expected, the door was locked, but with a quick cast of alohomora it was unlocked. He immediately opened the door and closed it behind him making sure he wouldn’t get caught.

The room was…unpleasant. The feeling of this room was cold and uninviting, almost like something in the room wanted him out. An energy wrapped itself around him instantly, making his shoulders feel tense and heavy. An energy that was disturbingly familiar to the way he felt when he held Salazar's spellbook and when he had the relic. It was almost suffocating yet very alluring. There was dark magic here. It wasn't exactly the same feeling the relic gave, but it was damn near close enough. Enough for Sebastian to know Edith was messing with magic she shouldn't have.

The room was similar to the study, maybe a tad longer with an alcove, but a mirror opposite structure wise. However, this room darkened by drawn closed thick curtains. The light barely passes through the small separation between the curtains, lighting up very little. The lantern on the wall thankfully lit up more for him to see. The first thing he noticed was the large shelf directly in front of the door against the wall between this room and the study. It had so many seemingly random objects, all made of silver. The things he saw were strangely designed and yet vaguely familiar. Most were large daggers and short swords; a few were more obscure like weirdly shaped oval objects the size of a small apple or of axes against the wall. There were lots of random bits of silver pieces placed on the shelf as well, just sitting there. All of them had unique designs that seemed oddly familiar, but he couldn’t quite place it.

Moving to the alcove drawn curtains were books taking most of the space. The books ranged from old magic, understanding spells, to dark and dangerous magic. Each book was worn, and had tabs sticking out of specific sections.

Along the far wall to the left was a long desk and a large board covered in papers. Many of the papers had scribbled drawings all over almost like runes, while others were just a page of writings with more writings on the margins. Many things on the pages were scribbled out, or heavily circled. The oil lantern on the desk seemed to be coming up on its last use. A necklace with a large pendant on it was carefully laid on the desk against the wall. Nothing he’d see any woman wearing today. The pendant was a round oval with the metal bent in strange ways. It bent over itself with many sharp edges yet formed a perfectly rounded oval with a hollowed center. It looked heavy as well, thick from the silver it was made from. It was similar to the other oddly designed objects on the shelf, but half the size. The chain attached to it was just as thick and uncomfortable looking.

Walking up to the desk, Sebastian began to read what was readily available to read. Aside from the strange necklace, the desk was covered almost completely. A couple of books on top of each other and many, many loose pages. The pages were very old, having seen their fair share of years. One was very familiar, though. A page he found with Edith many years back, covered in runes. She still had the torn page they found in the Undercroft.

The notebook on top of it all was left open on the desk and had two entries on it along with more rune scribbles and ineligible writings in the margins. The first entry was dated from a few months ago. There was a disturbing dark brown blotch stained at the center of the page, like ink having fallen on the page. Though Sebastian had a feeling that it wasn't ink that stained the page. The entry read:

“The effects of the locket are still effective. The curse hasn’t countered it yet. The locket is still good. More tests are needed to improve the capacity. A new locket may be needed. Redesign the old locket and improve it. The curse can be cured. There is still hope.”

Her writing seemed frantic, like she was convincing herself there was a cure. Her writing was still as beautiful as it had always been, but it seemed more unorganized and hurried. Her confidence wasn’t present like it used to be. She had only two things underlined; the word "effective, " and the phrase "there is still hope." The lines were very heavy-handed with multiple lines underneath to really emphasize it. In the margins around the entry were scribbled notes about how to improve this said locket. He flickered his eyes up to the necklace on the desk. So that was a locket that needed improving. The things written didn’t quite make sense, but he knew it involved ancient magic. Something Edith used to be able to see and wield.

He remembered she had a power unlike any other wizard he ever met, but she never brought it up ever again after their fifth year. Perhaps that was the source of everything.

He turned his attention to the second entry; this one was far more recent, being it was written only a month ago. The words of this were more ominous and unnerving. Nothing about it left him feeling like there was hope, or the answer he was looking for was something he’d like. The multiple dark drops stained into the page weren’t helping him feel any better either.

“There’s only one way to cure Anne. I will continue my research for alternatives and continue improving the locket for now, but it may be futile in the end. I need to prepare for the worst.”

What did that even mean? Edith knew how to cure Anne, but was trying to find a different way? What was the cure that had her so scared? Part of him wanted to confront her immediately, demanding she cure Anne the very second they found her, but the fact she was looking for an alternative to it was…terrifying. It meant whatever this cure was, even Edith didn’t want to do it unless she absolutely had no other choice.

As the uncomfortable feeling of fear started to tickle the back of his neck and twist his stomach into a know, he noticed another piece of paper under the book, much smaller than the others. A piece of paper with Anne’s handwriting; it was much more frantically written like she was in a panic. All it said was, “Half Faced Ashwinder”. A clue from Anne as to who took her!

Sebastian quickly picked up the note to study it closer; like the answer would present itself more if it was inches from his face. This was definitely Anne’s handwriting but how long did Edith have this note? Where did it even come from? Sebasatian pondered why Anne would write something like this and in such a sloppy manner. If she was writing this, it meant she wanted whoever read it to know. It was important to Anne, and if it was written in haste, she didn’t have much time to write. So perhaps was this half faced ashwinder the reason for Anne’s sudden disappearance?

“She…was kidnapped?” Sebastian came to the realization. He had suspected as much, but this truly confirmed it. Anne was in danger, and they needed to find this half faced ashwinder. He quickly pocketed the note as he turned to leave the room. He had an informant he could reach to see if they had any info on this. Leaving the room, he felt a little more irritated than when he had initially gone in.

How could Edith keep this from them? He understood not trusting them, but this involved the wellbeing of his sister. He and Ominis had every right to know every bit of info she had. Taking a deep breath, he quickly relocked the room. He hoped her only reason for not showing this to them was she hadn’t gotten to it yet. He’d give her a chance, albeit a small one. If what Penny said was true, Edith lived her life the way she did for Anne, so she had to care for Anne. For this one thing, he’d give her the benefit of the doubt.

As he made sure the door was locked once more, he heard the front door forcibly slam open followed by shuffling and quiet discussion. Sounded as if whoever just entered was in a hurry. Quickly Sebastian began to move.

“Ominis must have returned.” Sebastian mumbled as he headed down the stairs. It was only when Ominis started to call out to Edith frantically did something feel even more off. Ominis sounded terrified, and his voice shook. Sebastian immediately skipped steps, rushing to get down faster. Finally turning the corner at the top of the last flight of stairs, his blood ran cold at the sight before him.

Ominis, no longer looking like that overgrown paperboy, was in the foyer of the house in trepidation, appearing like something out of a nightmare. Spanning from his chest to the entirety of his left shoulder was covered in blood, Edith’s blood. Ominis was knelt to the ground, desperately clinging to a very limp and bleeding out Edith. A large angry gash reaching from her right shoulder to her sternum was pouring blood, staining her dark clothes, and painting her white blouse crimson. Her skin was paling while covered in a thin layer of sweat.

Ominis was calling out to her, shaking her gently, but she wasn’t responding.

Thoughts on Mask of the Rose? I've been considering buying it for the Pages romance and as the Resident Pages Lover I value your opinion

Pages’ dialogue is very charming, and as you might’ve guessed, I enjoyed getting to spend a little time with it.

That’s the nice stuff I have to say. Rest under the cut.

I can’t, however, give an in-depth review, because I did not enjoy the game. It is designed with rather a lot of systems to engage with, and they very much got in the way of me being able to place myself in London, instead of allowing me to express myself and connect with the cast.

These distinctions might not be important to a lot of players, but in case you share my specific tastes: I would not call this a visual novel; it’s much more in the vein of a time management sim, or an old school IF game. Those are both great genres! But I specifically was really looking forward to a Fallen London game that allowed me to really sink into the world, something that was way less segmented than the browser game. But this is a game that you’re supposed to replay over and over and over, and the player character ends up becoming very disposable, which is not conducive to emotional engagement, for me.

This all uh, really hurts to have to type, and I haven’t talked about it because I don’t want to be a bummer. I hope none of the MotR devs are reading this, because I love that they made a weird little game! There’s literally no other game like it, and that’s rad!

My recommendation is to play the demo. I found the full game to be no more juicy or compelling than the demo, so if the demo gets you excited, you should go for it!

(I did love Pages’ furniture obsession showing up as a kink thing, though. I definitely backed the game for too much on kickstarter, but I am a weak man and Pages sending my MC out to stare a carpenter dead in the face and ask for the upside-down fuck cabinet was almost worth buying the game for.)

(I’m weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaak.)

Streamline Your Cleanup with Efficient Scrap Metal Collection in London

In a city as vibrant and busy as London, accumulating scrap metal is common for homeowners, businesses, and construction sites alike. With ongoing renovations, technological upgrades, and general cleanouts, it’s easy for scrap metal to build up, leading to cluttered spaces and potential safety hazards. However, thanks to professional scrap metal collection services, this waste can be removed efficiently and responsibly, promoting environmental sustainability and tidiness. Here, we’ll explore the importance of scrap metal collection in London, how it works, and why it’s a valuable service for both the community and the environment.

What is Scrap Metal Collection?

Scrap metal collection involves the removal and processing of unwanted metal materials from various sources, such as households, offices, construction sites, and industrial facilities. These metals include items like aluminum, copper, steel, iron, brass, and other alloys found in appliances, old furniture, building materials, and even car parts. Professional collection services pick up and transport these materials to recycling facilities, where they are sorted, processed, and eventually repurposed.

Why Scrap Metal Collection is Essential in London

With a high population density and a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial activities, London produces significant amounts of scrap metal. Whether it’s the result of an office renovation, a home cleanout, or a building demolition, disposing of scrap metal responsibly is essential for multiple reasons:

Environmental Benefits: Recycling scrap metal significantly reduces the demand for raw materials, preserving natural resources and reducing energy consumption. Metal recycling requires less energy than mining and processing new materials, thus helping reduce the city’s overall carbon footprint.

Reducing Landfill Waste: Scrap metal is non-biodegradable, meaning it won’t break down naturally over time. If discarded in landfills, it takes up valuable space and can potentially leach toxic chemicals into the soil and groundwater. Scrap metal collection helps prevent metal waste from accumulating in landfills, contributing to a cleaner, more sustainable environment.

Clutter-Free Living and Working Spaces: Accumulated metal waste can take up valuable space, creating disorganized areas in homes, offices, or construction sites. Professional scrap metal collection services free up space, allowing for a cleaner and safer environment.

Economic Value: Metal has intrinsic value, and recycling facilities often compensate for certain types of metals like copper and aluminum. Professional collectors know how to sort and identify metals for optimal recycling value, benefiting both clients and the economy.

How Scrap Metal Collection Works

Professional scrap metal collection services in London follow a systematic approach to ensure efficiency and proper disposal. Here’s a breakdown of the typical process:

Assessment and Quote: After contacting a scrap metal collection service, clients receive an assessment, either over the phone or through an on-site visit. This step helps determine the type, volume, and condition of the scrap metal, allowing the company to provide a fair and accurate quote.

Collection and Removal: Once the terms are agreed upon, a team of professionals arrives to collect the scrap metal. With specialized equipment and vehicles, they ensure safe handling and transportation of items, including bulky or hazardous materials.

Sorting and Processing: After collection, the scrap metal is taken to a recycling facility, where it is sorted according to type and quality. Proper sorting is crucial, as different metals require different recycling processes. For instance, aluminum, copper, and steel each have unique melting points and recycling techniques.

Recycling and Repurposing: Once sorted, the metal is processed for recycling. At this stage, the scrap metal is cleaned, melted down, and reshaped for reuse. This recycled metal can then be used to manufacture new products, minimizing the need for new raw materials.

Types of Scrap Metal Commonly Collected in London

Scrap metal collection services in London typically handle a wide range of materials. Here are some common types of scrap metal they collect:

Ferrous Metals: Including iron and steel, which are common in construction materials, appliances, and automotive parts.

Non-Ferrous Metals: Such as aluminum, copper, and brass. These metals are found in everything from wiring and electronics to pipes and household items.

Precious Metals: While less common in everyday collections, some services handle precious metals like gold and silver, often found in electronic components and specialty items.

Each metal type has its own recycling process, with non-ferrous metals like copper and aluminum being highly valuable due to their durability and versatility in new manufacturing.

Benefits of Using a Professional Scrap Metal Collection Service

Choosing a professional scrap metal collection service in London offers many advantages:

Convenience and Efficiency: Handling scrap metal can be time-consuming and physically demanding. A professional service manages all aspects of collection, including heavy lifting, transportation, and cleanup.

Proper Disposal and Recycling: Scrap metal collectors have established partnerships with recycling facilities, ensuring that all materials are recycled responsibly. This ensures that clients comply with environmental standards and avoid fines associated with improper disposal.

Safety: Scrap metal can be hazardous, especially sharp or heavy items. Professional collectors are equipped to handle these risks safely, protecting both clients and their property.

Maximizing Recycling Value: Experienced collection services know how to sort metals for optimal recycling value. By identifying valuable materials like copper and aluminum, they can often offer competitive compensation or offset collection costs.

Eco-Friendly Practices: Reliable scrap metal collection companies follow strict environmental practices, contributing to sustainable waste management in London and supporting the city’s commitment to reducing its ecological footprint.

Choosing the Right Scrap Metal Collection Service in London

When selecting a scrap metal collection service, it’s essential to consider factors such as reliability, environmental practices, and experience. Here’s what to look for:

Reputation and Reviews: Choose a service with a strong reputation and positive reviews. Companies with a proven track record are more likely to provide efficient and trustworthy service.

Transparent Pricing: Look for a company that offers clear, upfront pricing, so you know what to expect from the start.

Commitment to Sustainability: Select a provider that prioritizes eco-friendly practices, including partnerships with certified recycling facilities and responsible waste management.

Professionalism: Opt for a service that employs trained professionals with the proper equipment to ensure safe and efficient scrap metal removal.

Final Thoughts

Scrap metal collection in London plays an essential role in maintaining clean, safe, and sustainable spaces. By choosing professional services, residents and businesses can declutter their properties, support environmental initiatives, and contribute to the city’s recycling efforts. With companies like Daniel P Scrap Dealer, scrap metal collection has become a convenient and responsible choice, making it easy to dispose of unwanted metal items while protecting London’s environment. Whether for a one-time cleanout or ongoing collection needs, professional scrap metal services ensure efficient, eco-conscious disposal for the modern urban landscape.

The Ultimate Guide to Selling Scrap Metal in London

London, a bustling metropolis, is not just a hub for culture and commerce but also a city where recycling and sustainability are gaining prominence. One way to contribute to this green movement is by selling scrap metal. Whether you’re a business owner with industrial waste or a homeowner with old appliances, selling scrap metal in London can be both environmentally beneficial and profitable. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about selling scrap metal in the capital city.

Why Sell Scrap Metal?

The importance of recycling scrap metal cannot be overstated. Recycling metal saves raw materials, reduces energy consumption, and cuts down on greenhouse gas emissions. For instance, recycling aluminum saves up to 95% of the energy required to produce new aluminum from raw materials. Moreover, selling scrap metal can provide you with a steady stream of income, especially if you frequently come across metal waste. The UK government has also implemented stricter regulations on waste disposal, making recycling an attractive option for businesses and individuals alike.

Types of Scrap Metal You Can Sell

Before diving into the selling process, it’s essential to understand the types of scrap metal you can sell. Scrap metals are generally categorized into two types: ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

1. Ferrous Metals

Ferrous metals contain iron and are magnetic. They include steel, cast iron, and wrought iron. These metals are commonly found in construction materials, automobiles, and appliances. Although ferrous metals are typically less valuable than non-ferrous metals, they are abundant and still fetch a decent price.

2. Non-Ferrous Metals

Non-ferrous metals do not contain iron and are non-magnetic. These include aluminum, copper, brass, lead, and zinc. Non-ferrous metals are generally more valuable than ferrous metals due to their properties and wide range of uses. For example, copper is highly sought after due to its excellent conductivity, making it a staple in electrical wiring and plumbing.

Where to Find Scrap Metal in London

Finding scrap metal in London is easier than you might think. Below are some common sources:

1. Household Items

Many household items contain valuable metals. Old appliances, electronics, and even furniture can be a source of scrap metal. For example, washing machines and refrigerators contain steel, while old pipes and electrical wiring contain copper.

2. Construction Sites

Construction and demolition sites are gold mines for scrap metal. Steel beams, wiring, plumbing, and metal roofing materials are often discarded and can be recycled. If you have connections in the construction industry, it might be worth asking if you can collect any scrap metal from their projects.

3. Automotive Shops

Car repair shops often have scrap metal from old car parts. Engines, transmissions, and even car batteries contain valuable metals like aluminum and lead.

4. Public Recycling Centers

Some public recycling centers in London accept scrap metal. While they may not pay as much as specialized scrap metal dealers, they are a convenient option for smaller quantities of metal.

How to Sell Scrap Metal in London

Now that you know where to find scrap metal, the next step is selling it. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Sort and Clean Your Scrap

The first step is to sort your scrap metal into ferrous and non-ferrous categories. Most scrap metal dealers in London will pay more for clean, sorted metal. Additionally, removing any non-metal components, such as plastic or rubber, can increase the value of your scrap.

2. Find a Scrap Metal Dealer

London has numerous scrap metal dealers, each offering different prices. It's a good idea to shop around and compare prices before committing to a dealer. Some of the well-known scrap metal dealers in London include EMR Metal Recycling, London Scrap Metal, and Metal Recycling London Ltd.

3. Check the Dealer's License

In the UK, it’s illegal to buy or sell scrap metal without a license. Ensure the dealer you choose is licensed by the Environment Agency. This guarantees that they operate legally and adhere to environmental regulations.

4. Know the Current Market Prices

Scrap metal prices fluctuate based on supply and demand. Before selling your scrap, check the current market prices for different metals. Websites like Scrap Metal Prices London and Scrap Metal Dealers provide up-to-date pricing information.

5. Transportation

If you have a large quantity of scrap metal, you may need to arrange transportation to the dealer. Some scrap metal dealers in London offer collection services, which can save you time and effort. However, if you're transporting the scrap yourself, ensure that it's properly secured to avoid accidents.

6. Get Paid

Most scrap metal dealers pay by weight, so your metal will be weighed upon arrival. Once the metal is weighed and graded, you’ll be paid according to the current market price. Due to UK regulations, scrap metal dealers are not allowed to pay in cash, so expect to be paid via bank transfer or cheque.

Legal Considerations

Selling scrap metal in London comes with legal obligations. The Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 regulates the industry to combat metal theft and ensure proper recycling practices. Here are some key points to remember:

Identification: You must provide valid identification when selling scrap metal. This can be a passport, driver’s license, or another government-issued ID.

Record Keeping: Dealers are required to keep detailed records of all transactions, including the seller’s ID and the type and quantity of metal sold.

Final Thoughts

Selling scrap metal in London is a smart way to declutter, contribute to environmental sustainability, and make some extra cash. By understanding the types of metals you can sell, knowing where to find them, and choosing a reputable dealer, you can maximize your profits and help keep London green. Whether you’re a business owner or just someone looking to recycle old items, the scrap metal industry in London offers opportunities for everyone.

Sustainable Elegance: Eco-Friendly Indian Wedding Foyer Décor Ideas for London

Eco-friendly foyers are becoming common décor sights in Indian weddings in London. But designing one with proper ideas and materials is a little tougher in action. To make that easy, we present you with foyer décor ideas that are sustainable, stylish and sophisticated as well.

A London wedding with an Indian flair can be a beautiful blend of cultures, and introducing eco-friendly elements into this fusion adds an extra layer of uniqueness into it.

A good way of transforming your Indian wedding in London into a vibrant space that prioritizes environmental consciousness is by welcoming guests with eco-friendly foyers. The wedding foyer is the first glimpse guests get of your celebration. It sets the tone for the entire event.

Transforming it into a sustainable masterpiece not only makes a positive impact but also showcases your values and creativity. A lively, sustainable foyer speaks volume about your respect for your heritage and your commitment to the planet as well.

But some things are easier said than done and designing a sustainable foyer is one of those. But, not to worry because you have Shenai Weddings at your aid. We present you some stunning, voguish eco-friendly foyer décor ideas that will notch up your game for your Indian wedding décor in London.

Embrace the Greenery

Start by bringing nature into the foyer. Create a lush entrance with potted bamboo poles, draped with vibrant bougainvillea or fragrant star jasmine. For a dramatic touch, suspend fabric panels adorned with dried marigold petals or colorful herbs like rosemary and basil.

Potted plants and succulents can also serve as both decor and memorable wedding favours, as guests can take them home and plant them, watching the love they received at the wedding grow over time.

Ethical Elegance

Supporting ethical practices and fair trade is a wonderful way to infuse your wedding décor with positive energy. Seek out artisans who create sustainable and ethically produced decorative items.

From handcrafted paper lanterns to intricately designed table centerpieces, these pieces will not only beautify the space but also tell a story of responsible consumption.

Upcycled Delight

Upcycling adds a touch of uniqueness and sustainability to the décor and thanks to budding environmentalists and thoughtful artisans, the décor market is brimming with upcycled products.

Consider repurposing old doors, windows, or even furniture pieces to create stunning entrance arches or decorative screens. You can also display hand-painted clay pots or carved wooden trinkets from Indian markets.

Biodegradable Beauty

Opt for biodegradable materials to reduce the environmental impact of the décor. Burlap and jute can be used for table runners or wall hangings, providing a rustic yet eco-friendly touch.

Locally Sourced Fabrics

If you’re using fabrics for foyer decoration, then opt for handloom textiles like khadi or block-printed fabrics for tablecloths or drapes. These support local artisans and add a touch of cultural authenticity as well.

Select Sustainable Lighting

Instead of disposable candles, go for rechargeable LED string lights or solar lanterns. You can even create cascading chandeliers with recycled glass bottles and tea light candles.

Sustainable Textures

Try to use natural textures like wood, bamboo, and woven fabrics as much as possible. For example, you can use a Lord Ganesha carved out of wood and decorate it with metal pots and candles.

Minimalistic Marvels

Sometimes, less is more. Embrace a minimalistic approach to foyer décor, focusing on a few key elements that make a statement. By avoiding excess, you not only reduce waste but also allow each chosen item to shine, creating a more impactful and visually pleasing entrance.

Reusable Signage

Create reusable signage using chalkboards or other durable materials. These signs can guide guests through the wedding festivities and be repurposed for future events.

Blooming Brilliance

Ditch the imported, out-of-season flowers and embrace the beauty of local, seasonal blooms. Fragrant jasmine strings, marigold garlands, and potted eucalyptus or mango trees infuse the space with an authentic Indian touch while minimizing carbon footprint.

Additional Tips

Communicate with Clarity: Let your guests know about your eco-conscious efforts through information cards or subtle signage. This educates them about your values and inspires them to make sustainable choices.

Embrace Reusability: Invest in items that can be used again or repurposed after the wedding. This minimizes waste and allows you to cherish special elements of your celebration long after the festivities.

Creativity is Key: Sustainable doesn’t have to mean boring. Let your imagination run wild! Use recycled materials like newspapers, old fabrics, or vintage bottles to create unique and eye-catching decorations.

Summing Up

As couples increasingly seek ways to celebrate their love in harmony with the environment, the fusion of tradition and eco-friendliness in Indian wedding foyer décor becomes both a challenge and an opportunity.

By adopting these ideas, you can create a stunning and sustainable Indian wedding foyer that reflects your heritage, values, and love for the planet. Your celebration will be not only a joyous union but also a testament to your commitment to a brighter, greener future.
