In their place, nine new routes are rolling out under the BusConnects redesign — including the F1, F2, and F3, which sound more like computer shortcuts than bus

Guinness is heading across the water, opening its first-ever U.K. microbrewery this winter in London’s Covent Garden. The new spot, Guinness at Old Brewer’s Yard , will stretch over 50,000 sq ft — roughly the size of that one bloke’s ego who went solo travelling on a “gap year” and came back saying gracias in SuperValu. Inside, there’ll be a rooftop bar with 360° views of London, a merch store, and a working microbrewery brewing up 14 limited-edition beers — including low and
