What's special about London is the diverse communities that call it home. Today, we shared a Rosh Hashanah message from the heart of the capital, wishing London’s Jewish communities a healthy and happy new year.

To mark World Car Free Day, TfL & Santander Cycles are encouraging Londoners to make their journeys more sustainable with half-price monthly cycle hire subscriptions. Use the special voucher code by the end of Tuesday 23 September to claim the offer. More info: www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/hal...

Thousands of Londoners have indefinite leave to remain. They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city. Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.

As Rosh Hashanah begins this evening, I wish Jewish communities in London and around the world a happy and healthy new year. Shana Tovah!

As Rosh Hashanah begins, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Jewish Londoners for their incredible contribution to our city. From my family to yours: L'shanah tovah!

A message to every Londoner, and anyone who talks our city down.

This Sunday’s free 'This is Oxford Street' event is open to everyone and will showcase the nation's high street as you have never seen it before. This event welcomes Londoners and visitors with a glimpse of what it could look like in the future. Here is what to expect:

I've been working closely with Westminster City Council and I'm delighted the process to hand over control of the nation’s high street, Oxford Street, has been completed, ensuring that TfL will become the highway authority for the road from Saturday 20 September.

There’s more Superloop coming: the SL12 bus route will launch next year between Rainham and Gants Hill via Romford. Linking up hospitals, local centres and stations with an express bus service means more people can get where they need to be.

This past weekend, free community events took place across London, showcasing that one of our city’s greatest strength is our diversity. Deputy Mayor @debbieweekesb.bsky.social explains why my Community Weekend is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate what makes our capital so special.

President Trump has fanned the flames of the far-right. And now a toxic form of politics is spilling out onto our streets. These are dark times, but those who seek to divide us will not win. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I’m committed to working with community organisations to reassure Londoners and show that hate will never win. These organisations are doing incredible work to unite our communities, and through the new fund announced today, we will help bring even more Londoners together.

In London, hate will never win.

The UK is a global leader in AI innovation, and Google’s £5 billion investment is a powerful vote of confidence in our country’s tech sector. This move will help boost our economy and create new opportunities across the country and in the capital.

This summer we’ve made real progress in tackling crime in London. The latest figures show you are less likely to be a victim of violent crime in London than you are in the rest of England and Wales.

I'm grateful to our brave officers who put themselves on the line to keep Londoners safe this weekend. The violence towards our officers and the racism we saw has no place in our city. The far-right wants to divide us. They will never succeed.

The Hillsborough Law is urgently needed and a vital step forward. London stands with the Hillsborough families and those who’ve fought for justice for decades. After the tragedies of Hillsborough and Grenfell, this law will ensure no bereaved family has to endure the same battles.

Prominent figures in the US and UK deliberately talk down our country, and in particular, our capital city. Yet the latest evidence is clear: a record number of US citizens are now applying for citizenship in the UK. For many Americans I speak with, it’s because of our values.

We must unite against those who seek to divide us.

We must unite against those who seek to divide us.

Phone thieves: we're coming after you.

We’re facing a national crisis with too many children and young people facing huge struggles with their mental health. That’s why I’m stepping forward to help provide targeted schools across London with tools, training and support to make a real difference for their students.

Good luck to the Red Roses in their quarter final match against Scotland this evening. London is cheering you on.

NEW: plans for a new Superloop express bus could soon be launched in North London connecting Hendon and Ealing Broadway. This new route will make it quicker and easier for Londoners to get around our city. www.standard.co.uk/news/transpo...

The new David Bowie Centre is a must-see for all Bowie fans. For the first time, V&A East Storehouse has made this immense collection available to the public, for free. It was incredible to view items from David Bowie’s life and work first-hand.

🚀 London Design Festival is GO!

Pedicabs should be a fun and green way to see the sights of our city, but without regulation, some drivers are behaving unsafely and anti-socially. That’s why I’ll be pressing ahead with new measures to ensure pedicabs are safe and the industry can continue to thrive in the future.

Delighted to join HRH The Princess Royal to mark the completion of the Tideway Tunnel. This project is transforming the tidal Thames, dramatically reducing sewage discharges and creating new public spaces on the river for all Londoners.
