• London’s museum & galleries Christmas 2022 opening dates

  08-12-2022 16:00 via ianvisits.co.uk
  Lots of museums are open over the Christmas period, but often with opening hours as erratic as Aunt Norra on her 3rd sherry of the day – so here is a list of known opening hours.
  Caveat – the list is based on the information compiled by a fallible human using the venue’s own websites. Where a venue is not listed it’s because they are either closed entirely, or haven’t updated their website, so I am not going to guess what they are doing.
  Opening hours also may vary,

• UK lines up international allies on Open RAN

  08-12-2022 13:15
  Australia, Canada and the US have agreed to back the UK’s vision for the development of Open RAN, a move that is all about improving vendor diversity in the telecoms space.
  And, of course, the unsaid goal of keeping the big Chinese companies, one in particular, out of Western mobile networks.
  But we’ll focus on the positives. Earlier this year the UK government published a set of principles for the development and deployment of Open RAN equipment, with the aim of getting in on the gr

• Chiltern Railway’s last Parliamentary Train from West Ealing

  08-12-2022 13:00 via ianvisits.co.uk
  Yesterday, Chiltern Railway’s usually ghostly quiet West London Parliamentary train had an unexpectedly eventful day thanks to being packed full of visitors and a trespasser on the tracks.
  The train was the 11:17am from West Ealing running non-stopping to West Ruislip and was the last time for some while that this particular odd train would run.
  As such, it was very busy.

• Glasgow is the UK’s most ‘unequal’ city for broadband speeds

  08-12-2022 12:38
  The Scottish city’s best served areas clock speeds 866 times faster than the slowest areas, which are just four miles away, says Uswitch.
  Having run an analysis of 16,500 consumer speed tests, Uswitch.com has ingloriously crowned Glasgow as the UK’s most unequal city for broadband connections. The highest average download speed was clocked at 840.4Mbps in the Milton district, while four miles away in the suburb of Bearsden, speeds were registered as low as a paltry 0.97Mbps.

• London’s Pocket Parks: Embassy Gardens, SW11

  08-12-2022 08:00 via ianvisits.co.uk
  This is a cluster of new pocket parks that were created as part of the Nine Elms property developments and are fortunately much more appealing than the ghastly marketing language that’s been used by Ballymore to describe them.
  In the centre of the development is The Linear Park, which eventually will be a 1km long line of parks running from Vauxhall station to the estate, and, apparently on to Battersea Power Station. Although unless something is about to be demolished, it’s difficul
