Police had negotiated with Taylor by phone, but he made no demands other than a request for a pizza.

Love it.

Been following this - quite interesting. Stunning photograph regardless.

What the fuck.

“Parts also have a reputation for being a bit crime-ridden; the drugs situation is quite bad, particularly near St Giles. People in Holborn tell us they would rather take a cab to the West End than walk down New Oxford Street because they feel it is unsafe.”

Have they never been to the East End of London?! I've never even thought that the Bloomsbury area being bad, frankly it's pretty decent.

What the fuck.

Well, some of this is true, some of it is exaggerated regeneration-speak. Wherever people want to leverage money for 'regeneration', you'll first have them talking down what's there.

The point about the linkage between Oxford Street and High Holborn is completely true; that one-way system needs to go, there needs to be less motor traffic, the empty buildings are a real problem, etc. But calling it 'Midtown' is simply idiocy, or indeed even why a new name is required at all. 'Bloomsbury', 'Holborn' and 'St Giles' seem perfectly fine to me. I still don't think many people refer to the Old Street area as 'St Luke's', which is the name that estate agencies wanted to give to the area.

Anyway, some promising key words in there, so let's see.

Bloomsbury is more than perfect, as well as Clerkenwell around the Old Street area, a new name simply add confusion.

I like the name of Bloomsbury, seemed quite fitting to the area, midtown sound summat out of Detroit.
