This ‘rare’ private island could be yours for less than £100K Looking for a bit of peace and quiet? This private island could be exactly what you need. Found on the River Thames – near Bisham in Berkshire, to be specific – is the idyllic Temple Weir Island, up for sale for £75,000. All things considered, that’s not too bad for an entire private island. Measuring approximately 2,000 square feet (around the size of a family home), the space was previously used for mooring and private fishing and includes a small underwater sandbank. Bougie or what? Next door, there are…

The hidden ‘Cotswolds of London’ is just 40 minutes from the centre From bustling city streets to towering skyscrapers, London isn’t necessarily synonymous with peace and quiet. But if you’re looking for a slice of the rural vibe while maintaining proximity to the city centre, the hidden ‘Cotswolds of London’ could provide the answer. Found in the northern area of Leytonstone in East London, Bushwood is named after the ancient woodland of the same name – and, as such, has gathered praise for its village-like feel. It’s little surprise that it gives off this aura, considering that historically, it was…

England’s stars fail to shine again (Photo by Franco Arland/Getty Images)England turned in another worrying performance at Euro 2024 after being held to a goalless draw with Slovenia. England’s place in the knockout stages was already guaranteed ahead of kick-off. But it was too slow and too passive again as the Three Lions struggled to break down the opposition on another dull outing where last week’s problems showed no signs of improving. While there was a bit more life in proceedings following the second-half introductions of Kobbie Mainoo and Cole Palmer, there is still plenty for Gareth Southgate to mull…

The Three Lions had already qualified for the last 16 ahead of their final group game on Tuesday evening but did little to appease the widespread criticism they have received so far this tournament with another disjointed display.

Gareth Southgate praised Kobbie Mainoo’s impact after England’s draw with Slovenia (PA)Gary Neville believes Kobbie Mainoo must start in England’s midfield for their Euro 2024 last-16 tie on Sunday. The Three Lions delivered another disjointed display in their final game in Group C on Tuesday evening as they were held to a goalless draw by Slovenia. But the result was enough to see Gareth Southgate’s side finish top of the group, which means they will play one of Netherlands, Romania, Slovakia, Ukraine or Belgium in their first game of the knockout stage on Sunday at 5pm. Southgate saw similar problems…

Keane was impressed with his appearance off the bench (Picture: ITV)Gareth Southgate will now be under ‘huge pressure’ to start Chelsea star Cole Palmer in their last 16 showdown at Euro 2024. Palmer struck 27 goals in all competitions in his debut season for the Blues but was an unused substitute in England’s first two group games against Serbia and Denmark. In their final group game, the Three Lions laboured to a drab goalless draw against Slovenia. Struggling to create anything of note, the 22-year-old was brought off the bench after 70 minutes to replace Bukayo Saka. Palmer and Kobbie…
