@s8mb Bathhouse, especially Banya No.1 - Hoxton in London. You should actually eat and drink there as their Russian food is really nice, but the main activity is to get beaten up by big dudes with birch and oak branches

@DouglasKMurray @OurielOhayon It’s been a long time coming. When I used to live on Whitechapel road 15 years ago, there was a protest every Saturday in the little square across the street with a bunch of bearded men holding signs with “Sharia for the UK” written on them.

@ebottcher Amazing ! Was high on the list of the must dos on the west side. Now can you fix Varick/canal/6th? One of the most dangerous areas I’ve ever had to cycle through…

@Altimor I can confirm: biggest culture shock when moving to the US indeed. In France, I’d say Jancovici is responsible for 90% of it- this is very much his policy. And he has a point too - we can’t both claim to achieve Paris agreement reduction in emissions and not change our lifestyle
