Veolia have brought out the big guns to sweep the leaves off our streets (or some of them). I saw 8 large men with 8 large brooms sweeping away in Outram and Clyde Roads, as well as 2 smaller men blowing out the leaves from under the parked cars. A huge lorry with circular brushes tidied up after them. Whatever happened to our lovely street sweeper Peter, who kept our pavements so clean?

The Estorick Collection is housed in a Grade II listed Georgian townhouse overlooking Canonbury Square, and it opened in 1998 with funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund. There…
