Battersea Park shows what London does best and it's why I love living in this city
Evening Standard|May 08, 2024
THIS I’m not being funny but… how incredible are London’s parks? I am particularly proud of Battersea Park. As someone that was born just over the bridge in Pimlico, then grew up in Battersea, I’ve been hanging out in the area all my life, and it’s been a big part of it.

Battersea Park shows what London does best and it's why I love living in this city

It was my dog Tailor’s favourite spot and now it’s Reenie’s; and with the redevelopment of the power station and whole surrounding area, it’s nice to always look at the park as a constant you can rely on.

I mean, sure… there’s definitely a LOT of twat dog-walkers around. People who don’t know how to smile and drag their dogs away as yours tries to go say hello. The other day there was a woman who prioritised holding an iced coffee over taking care of the 10 dogs she was “walking”. There’s gotta be some kind of limit to how many dogs you can hold at any one time surely! Anyway, I’m not here to complain today. I’m simply in awe of what I think is one of London’s best.

This is exactly how not to do national service

THE idea of some sort of national service to meet the challenges and threats of the times has been kicking around for some time. Service chiefs have been looking at conscription and concepts such as \"total defence\" by Finland's citizen soldiers - but none of them would work for the UK's security needs and social and political complexity.
