Why are motorised bikes allowed to use cycle paths like this where they hurtle past at speed with their wide tyres right beside pedestrians & particularly young children @MayorofLondon ? Vehicles with a motor belong on the road

New video - I was very excited about this walk: prehistoric finds on Wanstead Flats, a hidden river revealed and medieval shrine tucked away behind the everyday

A real pleasure and an honour to make this video of Iain Sinclair's recent exhibition at Swedenborg House, partly a re-staging of a 1974 exhibition at Whitechapel Gallery that became hugely influential
