Welcome to plane spotting paradise

As tens of thousands of Olympics spectators arrived in the UK via Heathrow Airport, few of them would have thought they had spectators of their own.

But they did.

From a small residential road in west London, the arrivals were being watched closely, and in some cases photographed.

For this BBC News feature, I went to meet the of aviation enthusiasts of Myrtle Avenue.

Clowning around

Rubber noses, frizzy wigs and multi-coloured suits may not sound like your usual Sunday best.

But this look was very much en vogue in an east London church.

Armed with hand puppets, balloon animals and whoopie cushions, dozens of clowns descended on Holy Trinity Church in Dalston.

I went along to find out why the jokers and jesters were congregating. 

We can't work it out

When international Beatles fans plan musical pilgrimages to the UK, day tripping to an industrial part of east London is probably not what they have in mind.

But that is where some of the Fab Four's followers have been buying a ticket to ride. 

I went to find out why so many are going on a - not so magical - mystery tour.

Shoreditched?

With news that the White Cube gallery is to close its doors in Hoxton Square, is this the beginning of the end for east London's art scene?

I found out for BBC News.

Subterranean show

A former abattoir in central London, a long forgotten department store in Brighton and a disused paper factory in Moscow might not seem the most likely of theatre venues.

Yet they are just some of the locations where artistic director of dreamthinkspeak Tristan Sharps has been setting up shop over the past decade.

Sharps' venue of choice for his latest production, In The Beginning Was The End,  is central London's Somerset House.

I delved into its hidden chambers and underground vaults to find out more about the show.

Religious TV ‘putting lives at risk'

TV shows made in London that encourage viewers to believe they are cured of life-threatening illnesses by prayer have been condemned by charities.

Charities criticised episodes of the Miracle Hour show, on Faith World TV, during callers with  life-threatening illnesses are encouraged to believe they are cured.

Camden Town to Tinseltown

Blur, The Who and Elvis Presley are front-runners on a list of musicians to be honoured with Walk of Fame discs along a route in north London.

Camden Town is to be officially twinned with Tinseltown to create its very own Music Walk of Fame.

The first 30 discs will be laid down this summer, organisers said.

Here's my exclusive story.
