Body Exhibition on the way to Earls Court

I read today in one of the tabloid newspapers (left lying around in the Cafe at lunchtime!)  that Von Hagen's ex-partner is bringing another plastination exhibition to Britain - Earls' Court.
 
The Guardian suggests that they have made an effort to make sure none of the Chinese donors were executed criminals, although they note that many of the bodies are of young men.
 
The report noted that, in the past, some of Von Hagen's exhibits were removed after bullet holes were noted in the backs of their heads of two of them.
 
Please note I'm just reporting what I read in the newspaper and have no way of verifying the accuracy of this story. 
 
But the story is repeated on-line  in the 'Hindu online'

How London is Divided Up

Image
The LDA - London Development Agency divides London up as follows: I have no idea who made these decisions but clearly some are not so obvious. For example, Southwark is in the Central Region but the City is in the Eastern Region given that all the bridges across the Thames in Southwark join up with the City this seems crazy! A report which discusses the issue of dividing up London can be seen here. Central sub-region Camden Islington Kensington & Chelsea Lambeth Southwark Wandsworth Westminster North sub-region Barnet Enfield Haringey Waltham Forest East sub-region Barking & Dagenham Bexley Corporation of London Greenwich Hackney Havering Lewisham Newham Redbridge Tower Hamlets South sub-region Bromley Croydon Kingston Merton Richmond Sutton West sub-region Brent Ealing Harrow Hammersmith and Fulham Hillingdon Hounslow

Updated Lincoln's Inn Fields Wikipedia page

I quite often revise wikipedia pages if I feel I have a moment. This one I did because the London Archaeologist had an article by Barbora Brederova about an excavation in the Fields, and it gave information not clearly listed on Wikipedia. If you want to read it here it is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln%27s_Inn_Fields#History I included a reference to the discovery of a fragment of a fudding cup.
