In London, a laudable teardown
The left image shows the original design; the right image is the final product. (Guardian) In London a developer has been ordered to tear down a completed 23-story residential building in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, in the southeast of London, because it deviates too far from the original proposal. Residents of 204 flats will have to find lodgings elsewhere. The authority that so declared…

The Haunted Atlas
Charlton House - Greenwich, London, United Kingdom
51°28′50″N / 0°02′14″E
Former stately home in Greenwich, London, with active haunting phenomena. Now a municipal building, Charlton House has been the site of numerous investigations by paranormal researchers. Some unusual phenomena have been recorded there, including what may be the first "live" apport on film.
Charlton House was built in grand Renaissance style in the early 17th century by Adam Newton, a royal tutor. In 1680, Newton sold the house to Sir William Langhorne, who served as governor of Madras and wanted the house for his retirement. Langhorne lived there until his death in 1715 at age 85. Although he enjoyed women, he never produced an heir. His restless ghost is said to haunt the halls and turn bedroom doorknobs. Another ghost often seen walking on the grounds is that of a servant girl dressed in Jacobean clothing carrying a dead baby in her arms.
Charlton House was turned into a hospital during World War I. One room said by local lore to be the most haunted was left unoccupied until need required that it be opened. The house was severely damaged by bombs during World War II. Repairmen found the mummified body of a child walled in one of the house's chimneys.
The Greenwich Borough Council owns Charlton House, which now serves as a public library and day center. Employees and visitors have reported haunting phenomena, primarily on the third floor, and especially in two rooms known as the Grand Salon and Long Gallery. Other ghosts are an Indian civil servant who likes to pinch the bottoms of women, and phantom rabbits, perhaps due to the fact that a rabbit hutch once was kept in the Long Gallery.
Investigators, including those from the Society for Psychical Research (SPR), the Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena (ASSAP) and the Ghost Club, have held vigils there. Unexplained, explosive noises have been recorded, as well as the sudden movement of objects, which appear to be thrown. Mysterious sighs and vague voices have been heard. Cold spots are felt.
Around the end of 1995, an apport manifested during a taping for a British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) television show on the paranormal. Participating in the vigil was Maurice Grosse, chairman of the Spontaneous Cases Committee of the SPR, and Les Herbert of the ASSAP. They sat in the Long Gallery with BBC assistant producer Amir Jamal. The room was searched, and the lights were turned off for the vigil. Jamal kept a flashlight in one hand and a camcorder in his other hand.
Sometime after 11 P.M., Grosse, who had closed his eyes, heard a police siren outside, which stopped suddenly. Then a tremendous explosion sounded in the room. Everyone leaped up, and the lights were turned on. In the center of the room was a blue and white teacup, broken into seven pieces that were arranged in a small, near circular fashion, as though someone had laid them out.
No one knew where the cup had come from. The Charlton House staff could not identify the china pattern—the house had only all-white teacups. More puzzling, however, was the manner in which the pieces were neatly arranged on the floor. If the cup had fallen from a height or been thrown, fragments would have been scattered about in wide disarray. Grosse and other investigators attempted to recreate the breakage by throwing teacups of similar size and thickness. They either could not break the cups or succeeded only in smashing them to bits.
The explosive sound was captured on the camcorder footage. An analysis by BBC experts determined that the sound was typical of an explosion, not just of a teacup breaking.
No evidence of hoax was found.
On July 30, 1999, during a vigil by members of the Ghost Club, a loud explosive noise was heard, and a test object, a carved wooden mushroom placed in the rooms by investigators, suddenly flew about 10 feet through the air.
Some investigators have held seances in the haunted rooms and said they made contact with various spirits present.

What to Wear to (Pretty Much) All Occasions
SH is currently on holiday in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain 🇪🇸 He was in his IG Live wearing the same Lululemon soft knitted over-shirt that he wore in a photo taken by a French fan in London. The photo was published on Thursday, January 4th. The fan recognised him when she boarded the Uber Boat at the London Eye and saw SH already on board with a female friend.
The photo was taken on board passing Bankside, in the background Millennium Bridge (or St Paul Bridge) Tate Modern, and Shakespeare's Globe (not seen) on the left of the photo. SH doesn’t look so thrilled to be recognised. It’s a travel downriver through the City of London & beneath Tower Bridge before travelling past Docklands & onto the Royal Borough of Greenwich. SH gets off at Greenwich Pier his final destination.
On Saturday, January 6th, Charley McEwen, a hairstylist who exclusively visits Four London Salon on Saturdays, shared a photo of SH during his first visit to the Mayfair-London salon for a haircut in the New Year. The photo indicates the same salon as mentioned earlier, with a wooden panel on a white wall visible in the background. SH was seen wearing a Lululemon shirt that he had worn on previous days. As SH has had a hair transplant, it is always beneficial to have his hair taken care of by a male stylist.
#fourlondon
SH seems to be travelling to Las Palmas Gran Canaria with hand luggage (travel rucksack?), so he is carrying some clothes and will wear the same clothes twice in a row or possibly for the whole weekend. Who knows? He might buy an extra shirt in Las Palmas or wherever he's going.
He was wearing a double leather bracelet with a sliding knot clasp and no rings. He might have thought he could deceive by wearing a long-sleeved shirt with the sleeves rolled up, informing it was cold and rainy in Scotland. However, the sunlight in the room made it evident that he wasn't at home when his watch reflected a blue sky and a beautiful sunny day outside which he tried to hide quickly.
He had prepared his behind-the-scenes make-up and added a hint of glamour which magically erased the frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead furrows, Visibly botox in the eyes, facial whitening and full face collagen bio-stimulators making his look ready for the beach 😎 ☀️
So, not everyone cares what he does or doesn't do (luckily) but he believes that his fans do care. To mislead them, he wears the same outfit frequently, possibly because he thinks he is important or because he's eco-friendly. He wears a flannel shirt that blocks odour-causing bacteria from the body. I just hope he doesn't do the same thing with his underwear, If they are not washed 😳 or he prefers going commando, with shorts on the Canary Islands Spain 🇪🇸 off the coast of North Africa which has an average maximum of 21 °C in January.
But everything suggests He's mixing pleasure with business. There is a possibility that he might try to claim his expenses for the trip to Gran Canaria as a business expense through his company MPC. This is because he did an Instagram Live for less than 20 minutes during his holidays. However, expenses should always be reasonable and it appears that he has a hard life 🙄 or as always, he is living his life to the fullest! …..Livin' La Vida Loca!

Photo
Severndroog Castle is a folly designed by architect Richard Jupp, with the first stone laid on 2 April 1784.
While commonly referred to as a castle due to its turrets, it was built as a folly, as can be discerned by its small size and because it has never functioned as a castle. It is situated in Castle Wood, on Shooter's Hill in south-east London in the Royal Borough of Greenwich.
It was built to commemorate Commodore Sir William James who, in April 1755, attacked and destroyed the island fortress of Suvarnadurg (then rendered in English: Severndroog) of the Maratha Empire on the western coast of India, between Mumbai and Goa. James died in 1783 and the folly was built as a memorial to him by his widow, Lady James of Eltham.
Designated a Grade II* listed building in 1954, the Gothic-style castle is 63 feet (19 m) high and triangular in section, with a hexagonal turret at each corner. From its elevated position, it offers views across London, with features in seven different counties visible on a clear day.

Where to Buy a House in London
6 Absolutely Affordable Neighborhoods to buy a house in London
Buying a house in present-day London is no easy task, but with this definitive guide to securing the best properties in the most affordable area- we promise to break down and simplify the house hunting process for you, once and for all!
The real estate market has been on the rise and the numbers soar higher and higher with the passing time. However, if you’ve made up your mind about securing yourself the perfect abode, we have a comprehensive guide to the best neighborhoods in London that allow you a chance at owning a humble abode of your own without pinching the pocket too hard! According to the latest UK House Price Index (HPI), the places we are about to disclose just might be your one true shot at being a proud homeowner!
Bexley- With the latest budget on average house prices wavering somewhere around approx.£342,993, Bexley, a south-eastern borough in London is considered to be one of the top picks for affordable neighborhoods. The borough is surrounded by Greenwich on the west and Bromley to the south and a Crossrail service from Abbey Wood station is expected once the line starts plying. However, the housing price has experienced a 4.3% hike in this area according to the new 2019 statistics, so we suggest heading over to Bexley immediately if you don’t want to miss out on a steal deal.
Greenwich- Neighboring with Bexley is the borough on the banks of river Thames which too has been listed as one of the top preferred locations to buy properties. A borough overlooking the bespoke Greenwich park with the Royal Observatory and more, houses here would typically have an average cost of £372,803. Named after the World Heritage Site of Greenwich, this borough packs in quite some interesting attractions which makes Greenwich an appealing choice for a forever home.
Barking and Dagenham- Also located on the Eastern parts of London is the Barking and Dagenham borough continues to be one of the cheapest parts of London where you can make your dream come true with the average housing cost priced at approx. £300,517. The Barking and Dagenham continues to provide homeowners great value for money deals with the location having outstanding transport links connecting your neighborhood to Central London.
Croydon- Real estate experts have been really excited about properties in Croydon, especially since the price dropped a little since last year making Croydon one of the most favorable places to own a house of your own. If you’re wondering what the pocket pinch is, the average home would be something around £359,336 but with the ever-improving facilities, this metropolitan town south of London is regarded as quite a deal. What’s more? Croydon, being considered one of the largest commercial districts apart from Central London, has an extensive shopping and night-time economy waiting for you.
Sutton- Yet another southern wonder in London, Sutton is a large town with the schools in and around it boasting the best results in any of the boroughs in Greater London. If you’re a growing family looking to buy a bigger place, Sutton is the place to consider the average housing costs being somewhere around £368,520. Along with an attractive family growing opportunity, Sutton is also perfect for families who want their children to be a part of Sutton’s best educational institutions.
Hounslow- Another great option for growing families looking for upsizing is Hounslow in West London, a borough that has a diverse range of housing and property options duly waiting for you to explore. With the average housing cost being around £404,615 approx. The area stretches from Chiswick, East to Bedfont, West and has been undergoing proactive development in the recent years.
Apart from these, you can also find great deals on properties in Hillingdon, Havering, Enfield, Newham, and more.
HERE’S HOW YOU CAN DECIDE WHETHER THE LOCATION CHOSEN BY YOU IS PERFECT OR NOT
With bigger home comes bigger responsibility and that is exactly why you should consider these pointers before indulging in the neighborhood of your choice.
Convenience is crucial and we don’t just mean grocery stores and chemists in and around the area, but also the convenience of living in a particular borough or community. Before finalizing a place, we suggest you take more than one visits, preferably, at different parts of the day (or maybe even night) to get a more elaborate idea of the neighborhood you’ll be settling in.
Background checks are necessary too. Do a background check on the house, the soil it stands on, the real estate agent willingly trying to sell the house to you, and more. Homework regarding the price ranges too would be an added advantage.
Pre-check your home before moving in. We know how exciting it is to finally have the keys to your dream home in your hands, but maybe, a little pre-check before the whole settlement won’t hurt. From termite checks to leaking pipes and whatnot, a careful breeze through of the property would be a good idea.
Compare before settling in. Lastly, it is always a good habit to compare not just the budget but the convenience, distance from school or workplace, and more and hence, don’t just settle for the property of your choice. Keep your mind flexible and your budget tightly knotted and look for variations and alternative options before finalizing.
