There was a Chinook... my guess was that it was aiming for Ruskin Park to deliver a patient to King's Hospital. I've seen a few military helicopters land there for that reason.
The normal helicopter flew over later... chasing a burglar from Wandsworth according to their twitter feed.
 
Maybe practising an approach to Brockwell or Ruskin park? I've seen a Chinook doing very low circles near Highbury Fields and they've been known to land in Victoria Park and on Hampstead Heath for training purposes. They have contingency plans for landing in various London locations in case they are asked to do casualty transport or VIP evacuation or taking the SAS somewhere in a hurry. Maybe they envision a terrorist spectacular at the Olympics with casualties being taken to Kings.

edit: someone snapped a Chinook in Ruskin Park two years ago http://richardbaker.photoshelter.com/image/I00004Q303r4dlWU
 
Pah, it's clouding over a bit after a sunny morning. I was about to ask for suggestions of places I can sit outside in the sun and study. And how many layers I should wear.
 
Editor, if that is your real name, i have to ask since you are a neighbor: Did you hear that guy yelling "Skinhead skinhead Oi OI OI, FUck YOU! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!"? ... [and continue screaming for several minutes]. If not, you're a lucky one. I'm not sure what he meant though. Is it fuck the skinheads, or he IS a skinhead, oi oi? Either way, I'm not surprised he did it on a Sunday when no one is around
 
Pack of three for £17, madam.

Pool, gym and spa for under £6.00, I suppose it's a deal. Or it will be when the pool warms up :hmm:

I had to give up my membership when 1st baby was born... I held on to it for about 3 months and then realised it was just silly... I would have done day passes but I think they were something like £12 or £15 each...so I'm a bit tempted by this.

I'd phone the lido up and ask if you can have the same deal but direct with them rather than through the voucher people.
 
There were a number of police officers on Brixton Water Lane earlier stoping cars and empounding those that didn't have tax or insurance by the look of things.
