  • The statue of poet John Betjeman by Martin Jennings looks up to the new artwork entitled 'I Want My Time With You' by British (Britpop) artist Tracy Emin which hangs over the main concourse at St. Pancras Station, on 10th April 2018, in London, England. In the sixth year of the Terrace Wires Commission - and in celebration of the 150th anniversary of St Pancras International and the 250th anniversary of the Royal Academy of Arts, at one of London's mainline station, the London hub for Eurostar - the 20 metre-long greeting to commuters reads 'I Want My Time With You' and Emin thinks that arriving by train and being met by a lover as they put their arms around them, is very romantic." The Brexit-opposing artist also said she wanted to make "a statement that reaches out to everybody from Europe arriving in to London".

  • Faced with the closure of its beloved local library, the people of Herne Hill, Lambeth, south London hold a demonstration outside the Edwardian library. Lambeth council plan to close the facility used by the community as part of austerity cuts, saying they will convert the building into a gym and privatey-owned gentrified businesses - rather than a much-loved reading and learning resource. £12,600 was donated by the American philanthropist Andrew Carnegie to help build the library which opened in 1906. It is a fine example of Edwardian civic architecture, built with red Flettan bricks and terracotta, listed as Grade II in 1981.

  • Celebrated grave for the Dublin-born playright and known homosexual, Oscar Wilde in the Pere Lachaise cemetery, Paris. 19th century Irish playwright and wit Oscar Wilde once quipped: "One can survive anything these days, except death, and live down anything except a good reputation." He died in Paris at only 46, impoverished and broken down from years of being villified by Victorian society. He was buried at Père Lachaise with a modest tomb, but a memorial was later erected. Today the monument is covered in lipstick marks left by ardent visitors..
