Haverstock School has announced it is in discussions with the Department for Education (DfE) and Abacus Belsize Primary School over a deal which would see the homeless Free School move onto the Haverstock site.
Abacus has lacked a permanent home ever since its founding in September 2013. Parents and campaigners launched it to address the so-called Belsize black hole of a lack of secular primary schools catering to those living in the council ward.

Nishla Smith is in concert at St Bartâs on May 19
Put up the bunting and balloons, itâs finally arrived: normality (or something of the sort). From May 17, Boris Johnsonâs arbitrary rules allow us back into the concert halls that have been closed to audiences for most of the past year. But as the numbers they can take will be a fraction of before, it wonât be easy to get tickets â which is why many venues will still be livestreaming their shows so you can watch at home.

Hygiene-obsessed Joe Bloom maintained pristine standards at his famous West End gym
WHEN you think of an old-time gym what do you imagine? Floors, walls and windows thick with grime, dilapidated equipment and a rickety, blood-stained ring? Go back 60 years or more and that’s probably a fair portrayal of a typical British boxing gym. But there was one notable exception.

Lots of things have changed because of Covid. But one thing has been an ever-present on our streets and the urgency of solving it accentuated the pandemic. And that’s rubbish.
People will continue to spend more time at and near home, and making sure household waste is collected and not just strewn on our streets will be vital to a cleaner, greener, and more beautiful borough.
However, the rubbish has sadly kept piling up in Camden. New official national statistics show that Camden has the most fly-tipping of any council in England, with 35,000 fly-tips in the twelve months up to March last year.
