No one should face abuse or violence because of their faith.
Following these despicable assaults in Stamford Hill, I want to reassure our Jewish communities that police have made an arrest, are investigating and have increased patrols.
Anyone with information should contact the police immediately.

Clean air shouldn’t be a privilege.
In London, we’ve seen how bold action on air quality can make a huge difference.
⬇️ Harmful roadside pollution down by 27%
⬇️ 40% fall in estimated deaths linked to toxic air
That’s real progress. But everyone, no matter their background or where they live, deserves cleaner air.

No more waiting for the green signal.
In one week, the Oxford Street pedestrianisation begins.
More space. Less traffic.
Our nation's high street deserves no less.

Not every party comes with thousands of years of history, but this one certainly did.
The British Museum Ball celebrates the power of culture to unite people. That's what makes our city special, and why London remains the cultural capital of the world.

Great design shouldn’t be a luxury.
Delighted that a council-led housing project has won this year’s Riba Stirling Prize. It shows what's possible when we build homes that are practical, beautiful and affordable.

Some very good news for your Friday:

A tiny leap for frogs, a giant leap for conservation.

Proud to say City Hall played a part in saving the Prince Charles cinema - an icon of the London film scene.
My team has been in touch throughout, providing support and advice.
Our cinemas, theatres, galleries and grassroots venues are what make London great and we must continue to champion them.
