About 1,000 cyclists attended the unveiling of a “ghost bike” in memory of the latest young Londoner to be killed cycling in the capital.

Jamal Pratley, 24, who lived in Hackney, died in hospital on April 18, six days after he was critically injured in collision with a van at the junction of Bloomsbury Street and New Oxford Street.

We have been managing this urban woodland for 20 years. This summer maintenance day will focus on clearing dominant species like nettles and brambles to promote greater floral diversity along a newly created woodland ride.

Dappled sunlight and a few (some more, some less) tired bodies.
We came, we sawed (just a little bit), we 'weeded' (those nettles and cleavers were 'in the wrong place') and we mulched, we built some more dead hedges and mulched them too, and we did some maintenance on the rope fences: Some of the aftermath…

A pleasant day not too hot to work, and mostly in the shade and not the glade. Looking forward to fixing a rope fence and presumably playing with armfuls of nettle.

Hackney Half done and dusted! Been a couple of years since I last ran it. So grateful for running a local race with so many familiar cheering faces, and perfect weather conditions to boot. #HackneyHalf #Hackney #London #running

“This is one of London’s most unusual museums,” writes a @goldsmithsuol @mediacomgold #journalism student as she wandered #Hackney, “and the man behind it all is Viktor Wynd. He has spent decades assembling a world that resists categorisation.”

A week from today, I'm running the Hackney Half for the Hackney Night Shelter.
