Patients too ill to survive lifesaving open heart surgery have been given a lifeline as doctors at St Thomas' Hospital have used new technology to complete a mitral heart valve replacement on a beating heart for the first time.
Three out of the five platforms at Waterloo's disused international rail terminal could be back in use by domestic train services by the end of this year.
The Commonwealth flag was raised at Southwark Council's Tooley Street headquarters on Monday morning as well as by the Greater London Authority at City Hall.
