[Imc-uk-features] feature proposal

[maqui]

Hello

this is a feature proposal basically for the london page, but also i  
think it could go into the uk's ecology and culture pages.

it's a collection of events that happened in london during last bank  
holiday weekend, some related to the g8 others not. we've had quite a  
lot of reports about them, so i thought to put them together in a  
feature.

not sure about the title, so nice if someone comes up with a better one.

feature to go up friday 3rd if no objections.

cheers
maqui
