...East End Hip tour is one of the more popular walks, and for good reason: the multicultural neighborhood east of the city's financial district is a vibrant creative hub, attracting young artists and entrepreneurs who front one-off shops, edgy galleries and innovative restaurants. I've lived in London for over 15 years, but without that three-hour walk I'd never have discovered Westland, the beautiful architectural antiques dealer housed in a restored church in Shoreditch; or Concrete Hermit, a gallery showcasing works by up-and-coming graphic designers; or Serbian fashion designer Dragana Perisic's quirky boutique...

Their attacks follow a similar pattern: numerous crude bombs timed to go off in sequence in bus stations, temples and markets. The latest attacks used explosives delivered in the most mundane possible ways - on bicycles left casually near a fruit stand, or in a stainless-steel tiffin carrier, the ubiquitous lunchbox of Indian commuters, left under the seat...
...tout tourism to several gay-friendly U.S. destinations. In the week leading up to the British capital's gay pride parade on July 5, the agency placed 60 posters along escalators in London's Leicester Square and Covent Garden tube stations, which serve Soho, the city's gay hub. The South Carolina poster features a generic image of a plantation, and hyped the state's antebellum architecture, golf courses and gay beaches...
