Croydon locals want to see the town’s most historic area reach its full potential. With buildings dating back to the 14th century, Croydon’s Old Town is steeped in history.

At the heart of the Old Town sits the Croydon Minster, which is believed to have been founded in Saxon times and a church building on the site is referenced in the Doomsday Book. Six Archbishops of Canterbury are buried in the Minster and kings and queens were regular visitors to the archbishops at Croydon.

Croydon Palace in Old Town was the summer residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury for more than 500 years. Some of these original buildings are now used by Old Palace School.

London is home to hundreds of fish and chip shops, some better than others. But one, in particular, has been crowned London's best by TripAdvisor yet again.

Sitting at the very top of the site's ranking is The Golden Chippy. The Greenwich spot was opened in 2005, after Chris Kanizi arrived in London in 1977 to study medicine. He ended up an expert 'fish surgeon' instead, and since its opening, The Golden Chippy has become a local favourite.

Its reputation only grew after it was named London's best restaurant on TripAdvisor in 2016, beating the likes of Claridge's and The Ritz.

Summer has landed in the UK, kicking off with a heatwave which has seen temperatures soar – and left many of us wanting to get outside and embrace the warmer weather.

Of course summer is also a good time to go and catch a movie, as it’s traditionally blockbuster season – but heading to the flicks may not be your best bet if you’re hoping for some sun and fresh air.

Unless, that is, you opt for an outdoor cinema – and with a bunch of open-air screens once again popping up in the capital this summer, you’ll be spoilt for choice.

Whether you want to catch a classic or check out something more recent, here’s our pick of London’s best outdoor cinemas for this year – and what you can expect from them…

Archaeologists have discovered that the huge Roman mosaics discovered near the Shard last year, were actually part of a Roman tomb.

This rare piece of history was discovered just a stone’s throw from Borough Market and London Bridge station, said the Museum of London Archeology (MOLA).

The remains of the structure at the Liberty of Southwark site have an ‘astonishing level of preservation’, making it the most intact Roman mausoleum ever to be discovered in Britain, according to MOLA.

Thunderstorms have brought torrential downpours and flooding to parts of the UK on Monday.

Cars could be seen ploughing through deep puddles after flash flooding in north-west London.

Meanwhile, Manchester City's victory parade celebrating their Treble win was delayed by 30 minutes due to lightning.

Official weather warnings have now passed for Monday, but two storm warnings are in place for Northern Ireland and Scotland on Tuesday.

The yellow warnings, which mean storms may bring some disruption, will cover much of Northern Ireland, and a western area of Scotland from 12:00 BST to 21:00.

Do you have any recommendations for parks, preferably one with lots of shade?
