Question of the week: “In light of this week’s mood, what is your favourite London poem?” "In the light of this week's weather, I'll choose The Lake Isle of Innisfree by W.B. Yeats. The inspiration for the poem came to Yeats while he was walking down the "pavements grey" of Fleet Street and was suddenly struck with intense longing for an escape to a remote island getaway. Yeats' island has crickets chirping and bees making honey, so I like to think it must be somewhere warmer too!"- Jamie
