feature Freddie at 70 Freddie Mercury would have been 70 years old this September. Imagine the party he might have thrown. To mark the anniversary, photographer Richard Young is exhibiting images of the great man, including this one of him with Elton John. Young quickly gained Mercury’s trust and, over several years, was given behind-the-scenes access to music video shoots, backstage parties, even private parties. “The parties were always wild, full of laughter and unique,” Young remembers. “When you were in Freddie’s inner circle you would always be given a nickname. Mine was Muriel Young, after the TV presenter from the 1950s. Freddie would always say, ‘Come on Muriel!’. I loved it. I felt I was part of his family.” A Kind of Magic, Richard Young Gallery, W8 4LT, free, until Nov 5th. 12 where to, parker?

According to the Met, there were 215 personal thefts there between February 2015 and February 2016 (the latest figures available). Not far behind was Oxford Circus at 195 thefts and Victoria at 160. The total value of items stolen (purses, wallets, phones, laptops, cameras, travel cards etc) was £1.47 million in one year. London’s top five most pocket-picked Tube stations King’s Cross St. Pancras: 215 thefts Oxford Circus: 195 Victoria: 160 Liverpool Street: 107 Stratford: 107 Airport security freaks out even the bravest of frequent flyers. All those x-rays. All that frisking. All that panic over 100mls or less. That’s why London City Airport is now trying to alleviate passenger stress during security checks by playing “a mixture of ambient electronica and upbeat acoustic music” over the loudspeakers. Featured artists include Adele, Ed Sheeran, Ben Howard, Jason Mraz and Gavin James. where to, parker? 13
