It's a live web widget that can be posted on most personal websites, blogs and forums that allow embed code. That includes blogspot. However I think that blogspot limits such embedding to only posts by the blog owner, but I'm not really sure on that.
I just thought you might be interested.
FYI, although I am from the USA, I did live in London (Pimlico) for some time.
Cheers...
