National Park City founder Dan Raven-Ellison's guide to London's best outdoor spaces
Coming in at number...
3. Best view of the city: One Tree Hill
There are many spots to enjoy sweeping vistas of the city, but one of Raven-Ellison's favourite viewpoints is from One Tree Hill, a local nature reserve in leafy Honor Oak Park, an area in the capital's southeast. Despite its name, the reserve is home to sycamore, ash and wild cherry trees plus oaks, including the mighty hilltop 'Oak of Honor'.

Whoever says live music doesn’t work/pay in pubs has clearly never been down to the General Napier in Honor Oak Park, SE London. This was the scene on Saturday night when the Kings of Oblivion played there. A top night, made even topperer by a great crowd who were well up for it.

Sainsburys trials anti-obesity initiative at flagship Bell Green store
Customers of Sainsbury's Bell Green will have noticed the store has been gradually changing the location of stock but not immediately updating the location signage above the aisles. This is an initiative Sainsbury's is trialling to help address the UK's obesity crisis. The Disruptive Orientation Location Trial (DOLT) entails moving and mixing the location of stock on a regular basis to disrupt customers' familiarity with the store layout.
No longer will regular customers be able to quickly navigate the store and plan their route to efficiently select the items they want.

According to @sainsbury All assistance dogs are welcome in all their stores and petrol stations. No they are not. Try taking in one in Honor Oak Park. If you make it past the security guard. The shop assistants start on you. Calling the manager. They need to train their staff😡

Lake Church Rise progress report. Conway came today and sucked it all up. Depositing it in the drain on the other side of the road, no issue.
2 hours later and the lake is beginning to reappear, and it's only just started raining. #se23
