  • 09:19am: @simonw Horrible isn’t it. Puts me off more than the queues.
  • 09:21am: @alicebartlett @genmon scrubs up well!
  • 02:13pm: Over 9.5 years I added 56,642 hyperlinks to Mr Pepys’ 3,434 diary entries. There are 4,790 Encyclopedia topics and 69,585 comments.
  • 02:27pm: @DeanVipond Hey, you should come up and see my traffic stats sometime.
  • 05:55pm: Large swing band playing outside the Langham. London has pleasantly surprised me the last couple of days. Must get out more.
  • 08:46pm: Heading towards some crowds heading towards the Shard. #PhilFacts
  • 09:35pm: I get the sense nobody planned for thousands of people standing on London Bridge this evening.
  • 09:44pm: 10.42 and I see my first police. I'm guessing they were somehow taken by surprise.
  • 09:56pm: The Shard is the most anti-climactic building in Europe. #shardfacts
  • 09:57pm: But even so, it was still lovely to be out on a warm night with thousands of good natured Londoners blocking traffic. More of that.
  • 09:59pm: @boringfileclerk But boring is not good when you've advertised a spectacular laser light show opening ceremony.
  • 10:25pm: @matlock @holgate And one from earlier: http://t.co/yGo5md9C
  • 10:31pm: The lasers did look brighter and more impressive from 20 minutes walk away. But up close Tower Bridge looked much better than the Shard.
  • 10:32pm: @suegyford No, too far away / wrong angle. Which I thinks possibly a good thing.
