Camden & Islington Chronicle

The Northern Line's eastern leg is getting kneecapped every weekend until at least May 2022, with no service south of Moorgate on the Bank branch.

Some trains will run from Camden Town, Euston, Kings Cross and Angel via Old Street to Moorgate where they terminate. But TfL have warned that even this shortened Moorgate service will be limited, and have promised more trains on the Charing Cross branch to compensate.

Call us cynical, but we're not sure just how great an increase they can provide nor how helpful this is to those heading south and east, notably via the Central and Jubilee Lines or for National Rail trains from London Bridge.

The weekend work is to improve connections at Bank and Monument stations, which, to be fair, have been a running joke (or a free 'steps and speed walking' gym workout alternative) for many a year.

A young man was stabbed in the early hours of Sunday 12 September in the Finchley Road area of Camden. Thankfully he was not seriously hurt, however police are urging any witnesses to get in touch.

A Met spokesman said: "We're investigating the stabbing of a man, aged in his 20s, at around 4.45am on Finchley Road NW3. Nobody has been arrested. Anyone with information please call 101 quoting 1590/12sep or contact Crimestoppers."

That incident was in the north-west corner of Camden borough. The previous morning, some four miles away in the south-east of Camden, shots were fired at the Rosewood Hotel in High Holborn.

Nobody was injured and the Met's investigation has led to a man being charged with firearms offences. He is Andrew Cross, 38, of Station Way, Greenwich.
