Those after a fairly guilt free treat will be getting a move on to Harrods this Autumn for the launch of yoomoo. Looking for delicious, British-sourced frozen yogurt? Every yoomoo frozen yogurt is udderly scrumptious, fat-free and probiotic to boot! Delivering what we can only described as the ‘yoomoo factor’!

However you want to moo, there’s a flavour for you, with a range of personalised moos designed to make you moo til the cows come home.

Choose from angelmoo, who likes yoga and weekend country breaks, fashionistamoo, who’s well-known for her love of vintage and weekend trips to Milan, or yoobrew, who likes long tea-breaks and trampolining – each of which comes customised with your favourite toppings, made from natural flavourings and without any nasty artificial sweeteners.

So why don’t you come join the movement. yoomoo will be landing on the fourth floor of Harrods from September and with two more nationwide openings planned for later that month, you will have more than enough reasons to moo.

So tell us, how do yoomoo…?

The Bids ran high last night at the London Stock Exchange Clocks Auction with all nine clocks from the original London Stock Exchange trading floor going under the hammer at City restaurant and bar 1 Lombard Street.

Each clock bears the name of the capital city from some of the world’s leading trading nations.

A total of £41,800 in total was realised with the London clock reaching the highest price of the night, at £9,200.

One enthusiastic buyer from Texas bought four of the clocks over the phone, outbidding the floor to grab London, San Francisco, New York and Tokyo for a total of £27,400.

The prices achieved were:
San Francisco    £5,000
Toronto     £3,000
Melbourne     £3,500
Tokyo      £5,000
Zurich      £3.500
New York     £8,000
Johannesburg    £2.900
London     £9.400

Only one clock, Hong Kong was unsold. Made by Italian manufacturers Solari & C, the clocks were first installed in the old LSE building on Threadneedle Street in 1971. Powered by electricity, they measure 89cm by 61cm by 20cm. They overlooked the exchange’s trading floor until the mid 1990s, but were salvaged from a railway arch in the East End by current owner, the designer Mark Lawson Bell, a few years ago.

Part of the sale price of the clocks will be donated to Cancer Research UK.

The autumn season at Portobello Pop-Up Cinema continues apace. Today the quirky venue is hosting a bicycle day in conjunction with the Ladies who Cycle club. There’ll be a mass photo-call featuring local mothers and daughters who bring their bicycles down together, bicycle related shorts from 7pm and the chance to win all manner of cycling goodies. At 8.30pm, there follows a bizarre animation feature film called Belleville Rendevous about a club-footed grandmother trying to save a Tour de France cyclist from the French mafia.

Eclectic October highlights include  Rachel Johnson in conversation about her new book, Diary of The Lady, the dystopian Planet of the Apes and Thierry Guetta’s Exit Through the Gift Shop about reclusive street artist Banksy.

The season ends on 31 October with a spooky fancy dress extravaganza with comedy cabaret and a screening on cult horror flick, Halloween. The cinema is a not-for-profit microplex located under the Westway with film buffs invited to contribute what they can afford. See you later Electric!

With carnival now but a distant memory, Kensington and Chelsea is continuing to champion its spirit of cultural diversity with the fourth annual Across the Street, Around the World festival. This celebration of arts, culture and community sees 15 unique events drawing on the borough’s rich artistic, filmic and musical heritage.

Kicking things off on the literary front is reggae poet and political activist Linton Kwesi Johnson.  Portobello Reloaded has top DJ’s taking a chronological journey of West London sounds from calypso to broken beat. And art fans can check out a music inspired mural along Portobello North Wall: a 100 metre long collaboration between Rough Trade, Island Records and local designer Bella Freud!

There’s also nu-jazz at The Tabernacle, opera at Holland Park and debates and screenings from the UK’s leading black independent film-makers including Horace Ové, producer of the first full-length black feature film. Sure, it won’t be as wild as carnival but on the bright side, you’re unlikely to get run over by a float, deafened by vuvuzelas or arrested after one too many ginger beers.

From 4 – 23 October
