Nobody went home 😭🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 After that 2am kick-off and one of the maddest World Cup nights in years, England fans poured into central London in the early hours, flags out, chants going, absolute limbs. 📍 100 local discounts on the UB1UB2 Card: link in our bio At one point the crowd swallowed a whole bus, then parted and waved it through like gentlemen. Big night, good spirits. Ten men, 3-2, history at the Azteca. Norway on Saturday at 10pm, a kick-off time that actually respects your sleep. Were you out celebrating or watching from your bed? 👇 🎥Submitted by @k9if_khan #ub1ub2 #london #worldcup #england

If your whole timeline is knackered today, this is why. England's game didn't even start until around 2am our time after a lightning storm in Mexico City delayed kick-off. Then came one of the maddest World Cup nights in years: Jude Bellingham scoring twice in 98 seconds at half two in the morning, a red card, two penalties, and ten men hanging on through 11 minutes of added time to win 3-2. Pubs across London were allowed to stay open until 5am for it, and plenty of you clearly did, walking home in daylight on a Monday. The reward: a quarter-final against Norway on Saturday night, at an actual normal time, 10pm. Did you stay up, and how is work going today? 👇 #ub1ub2 #london #worldcup #england 📍 100 local discounts on the UB1UB2 Card: link in our bio

This is why the M25 was at a standstill near Staines today. Footage from a bridge shows a car flipped onto its roof between the lanes near the Staines and Egham stretch, with another vehicle stopped alongside it, debris across the carriageway and traffic queuing as far back as you can see. Several drivers got out to help, and a highways worker was quickly on scene. 📍 100 local discounts on the UB1UB2 Card: link in our bio There’s no word yet on whether anyone was hurt, and we hope everyone involved is okay 🙏 If you’re heading that way, expect delays while it’s fully cleared, and as ever, leave room and take it steady out there. Were you caught in the queues? 👇 🎥Submitted by @marwan.nzf #ub1ub2 #london #m25 #staines

The mind games have begun 😭 Greggs has taken its Mexican sandwiches off the shelves before England face Mexico, with signs in stores explaining the move is “to support England in the World Cup”. A completely unnecessary act of pettiness, and honestly, we respect it. The game kicks off at 1am tonight at the Azteca, and with pubs allowed to stay open late, plenty of you will be watching it somewhere with the fridge fully England-approved. The steak bake might want to watch itself if we draw Argentina 👀 #ub1ub2 #london #worldcup #england #greggs 📍 100 local discounts on the UB1UB2 Card: link in our bio

Thousands are heading to Ruislip Lido in this heat. Here’s what many don’t realise: swimming there is banned. A woman who has lived beside the lido for 25 years has gone public over how the site is run, telling the Local Democracy Reporting Service there is “nothing in place to manage the place safely” when it’s busy. She describes hundreds of cars jamming the single narrow lane in, a one minute drive turning into 45, driveways blocked, and fears that an ambulance couldn’t get through if a resident or visitor needed one. 📍 100 local discounts on the UB1UB2 Card: link in our bio She says the site runs on one manager and a few litter pickers, with no lifeguard, while the council promotes it as a “secret beach”, and that music and barbecues carry on until 3am in the summer. Hillingdon Council declined to comment for now, with a full response due at its council meeting this Thursday. As for why you can’t swim there: blue-green algae that can be toxic to people and pets, cold water shock, unpredictable depths and hidden objects under the surface. In this weather especially, stay out of the water. #ub1ub2 #london #ruislip #hillingdon

If you’re on your phone in Ealing traffic, this man has probably filmed you. He walks the queues catching drivers using their phones behind the wheel, posts the clips online and tags the police, and going by his page, plenty of these end up reported. 📍 100 local discounts on the UB1UB2 Card: link in our bio Worth knowing: using a handheld phone while driving is illegal even when you’re stationary at lights or in a jam. It’s 6 points and a £200 fine, and for new drivers that’s your licence gone. Doing the community a service or taking it too far? 👇 🎥 @walking_marky #ub1ub2 #london #ealing #driving

A huge tree has come down in Hammersmith, and this one landed on a car. Footage shows the tree completely blocking the road, with a Mercedes crushed underneath it. It’s the second big tree fall sent into us from West London this week, after one came down in Uxbridge earlier (on our story) 📍 100 local discounts on the UB1UB2 Card: link in our bio 🎥 Submitted by @adam.chahine98 #ub1ub2 #london #hammersmith

A huge tree has come down in Uxbridge. The tree fell across St John’s Road, blocking the road by the mini roundabout and causing chaos for drivers trying to get through. Thankfully there’s no word of anyone being hurt, it looks like it came down onto the road rather than anyone underneath 🙏 Avoid the area if you can while it gets cleared, and fallen trees on public roads can be reported to Hillingdon Council. 📍 100 local discounts on the UB1UB2 Card: link in our bio 🎥 Submitted by @b_ldn_bruh #ub1ub2 #london #uxbridge

The shortest callout in history… A fire broke out right outside Southall fire station, with what looks like a rubbish fire going up in flames just yards from the station doors. 📍 100 local discounts on the UB1UB2 Card: link in our bio 🎥 Submitted by @lucky.rana_ #ub1ub2 #london #southall

Dashcam footage sent to us shows a van driver stopping on Kingsway in Holborn, getting out and repeatedly punching a cyclist in the road. We don't know what happened between them beforehand, or the extent of any injuries. Whatever came before it, this isn't the answer. If you witnessed this or have information, report it to the Met on 101. [date/time it happened]

Only in Hounslow 😭🦊 A fox hopped on the 110 last night, calm as anything, like he had somewhere to be. The driver told him this isn’t your stop mate, and to be fair to the fox, he took it well and politely hopped back off. The driver’s own words when he sent it in: “He said ‘2 stops driver’” 😭 📍 100 local discounts on the UB1UB2 Card: link in our bio What’s the maddest thing you’ve seen on a London bus? 👇 #ub1ub2 #london #hounslow #fox

Dashcam from Slough this week shows a car trying to get away from police, until this driver calmly positions his car and blocks him off. Then the back camera. He gets out, chases the driver down, wraps him up in a bear hug and holds him there until officers arrive to make the arrest 😭 📍 100 local discounts on the UB1UB2 Card: link in our bio 🎥 @shoaibkhanniazi111 #ub1ub2 #london #slough

Google Maps jumped the gun on this one 😭 Driving through Hayes this week, Google rerouted us off the A312 and straight down the brand new link road that will eventually connect Hayes to Southall through The Green Quarter, from the Parkway to Beaconsfield Road in about two minutes. One problem: the road isn’t open yet. It’s still an active construction site, and halfway down it was gated off, with security confirming it should never have been on the map. We’ve reported the error to Google, so don’t follow that route if it pops up. 📍 100 local discounts on the UB1UB2 Card: link in our bio But consider this your first look. When it does open properly, Hayes to Southall station in two minutes will change everything, no more crawling down Uxbridge Road. Game changer or rat run waiting to happen? 👇 #ub1ub2 #london #hayes #southall

The NHS is going to reward you for walking. A new scheme, part of the NHS 10-year health plan, will challenge people to walk 30 minutes a day, with daily walks tracked digitally and streaks to keep you going, the same habit trick used by Snapchat and Duolingo. Those who complete the challenge will be eligible for rewards, which could include vouchers and discounts. The aim is to sign up more than 100,000 people, which organiser Sir Brendan Foster says would count as the biggest marathon in history. The health case is real too. According to the NHS, walking 30 minutes five times a week could add up to four extra years of healthy life, while nearly 12 million adults in England currently do less than 30 minutes of activity a week. Full details on the rewards and how to sign up will be released in the coming months. Would you do it for a voucher? 👇 #ub1ub2 #london #nhs #walking 📍 100 local discounts on the UB1UB2 Card: link in our bio

A bus had crashed into a house in Ladbroke Grove. The footage shows the aftermath yesterday, with the bus embedded into the front of the property and emergency services in attendance. There’s no official word yet on how it happened or whether anyone was hurt, and we hope everyone involved is okay 🙏 📍 100 local discounts on the UB1UB2 Card: link in our bio 🎥Footage by harshiltamboli @ozzykh7 @blowingup 📍Ladbroke Grove, London #ub1ub2 #london #ladbrokegrove

Outside Poundland in Hounslow, this man got stopped by security on his way out, and they started pulling water bottle after water bottle out of his bag, one by one. In this heat, water’s basically currency right now 😭 Not the way to do it though.

Nice try 😭 Hertfordshire Police were at a house in St Albans looking for a wanted man. The woman at the door told them he wasn’t in. Then the officer walked into a bedroom… He was arrested at the scene. 🎥 Hertfordshire Constabulary #ub1ub2 #london #stalbans 📍 100 local discounts on the UB1UB2 Card: link in our bio
