Love London + its olde architecture, conservation + preservation. London's history, buildings, art, nature, wildlife, traditions + nice cups of tea.






Like California High-Speed Rail, the UK's HS2 project (intended to connect Birmingham and London) is struggling with delays and cost overruns. To save money, the Labour government is contemplating reducing the top speed from 224mph to 186mph. eandt.theiet.org/2026/03/24/hs2…


Stonehenge tunnel: £180 million spent on planning. Not a metre built. Cancelled. Why has this not caused national outrage?










Most people don’t realise where the £180 million actually went at the A303 Stonehenge tunnel project. It wasn’t construction. It was years of: • Environmental impact assessments • Heritage & archaeological studies • Legal challenges and consultations • Design, engineering and traffic modelling • Public inquiries and revisions All before a single shovel hit the ground. This is the real problem in Britain: We don’t just waste money, we build systems that guarantee it. £180 million to build nothing.
