Welcome to 'Time IN London' on this crisp Tuesday, November 12th, 2024 As you step out into the city, you'll be greeted by a mild autumn breeze and a partly cloudy sky, setting the perfect tone for a day filled with excitement and discovery.

First, let's talk about the current vibe. The air quality in London is a significant topic, especially following the recent 2024 National Air Quality Conference on November 6th at Prospero House, Borough, London. Today, the air quality is moderate, so it's a good idea for sensitive groups to limit prolonged outdoor exertion, but overall, it's a great day to be outdoors.

Here are a few key events happening today that cater to a variety of interests:

- For culture enthusiasts, the British Library is a must-visit, having just installed solar technology on its roof, making it a great spot to learn about sustainability. You can also catch the century-old Sherlock Holmes films back on screen, offering a nostalgic cinematic experience.
- Families might enjoy the Pearly Kings and Queens Harvest Festival, even though it's a historical video, it provides a fascinating glimpse into London's rich cultural heritage.
- If you're looking for a culinary delight, head to Borough Market near London Bridge and explore the nearby street art scene.

In local news, the Thames Tideway Tunnel super sewer has just opened its gates, marking a significant infrastructure development for the city. However, councils in London are at a financial 'breaking point,' highlighting the need for community support.

For must-do activities today, take a stroll along the South Bank of the Thames, enjoying the city's vibrant atmosphere and street performers. Visit the Sky Garden, a free public garden on the 35th floor of the Walkie-Talkie building, offering stunning views of the city. Don't miss the unique 'bento box' lunch options if you're in the area, a nod to the recent air quality conference.

Here’s a local tip: When navigating London, remember that using contactless payment on public transport can save you time and money. Did you know that the London Underground is one of the oldest subway systems in the world? This fun fact will make you appreciate the city's rich history as you travel.
