Once a derelict dockside site, Royal Albert Wharf is now a thriving community. As the last of the 1,856 homes complete, I had a tour of the site and met one of the residents of the London Living Rent homes. Thanks to @london.gov.uk funding, 45% of the homes are affordable.

It was great to sit down with @jessmccabe.bsky.social @insidehousing.bsky.social to discuss our emergency package of measures to boost home building in London, council housing and our new City Hall Developer. www.insidehousing.co.uk/insight/lond...

We just celebrated the first new homes at Northgate Park in Haringey. This is a very special development for City Hall. As well as funding affordable homes, the Mayor bought the site from the NHS using his Land Fund. That means 60% of the 995 homes will be affordable.

I joined Building Safety Minister Samantha Dixon MP to see progress on a building undergoing cladding remediation with funding from the Building Safety Fund. The visit highlighted many complexities including multiple defects, site constraints and a developer/freeholder who refused to engage.

In London we’ve taken inspiration from Singapore for our City Hall developer, and from Vienna for low-cost loans for housing associations. Good to discuss how we’re learning from other cities - and how they’re learning from London - at the @thefabians.bsky.social Housing Summit.

Happy Pride everyone! Amazing to join over a million people coming together to celebrate London’s LGBTQ+ community.

It was fantastic to celebrate the completion of the first 733 homes at Lombard Square in Thamesmead, delivered by Berkeley Homes and Peabody. Lombard Square will be 40% affordable, with funding from @london.gov.uk. Once an industrial site, now a beautiful, green neighbourhood.

Great evening at the @london.gov.uk City Hall Pride reception yesterday, celebrating London’s LGBTQ+ community. Looking forward to Pride in London on Saturday.

It’s fantastic news that the latest figures show a fall in the number of people sleeping rough in London. It’s a sign that the Mayor’s Plan of Action, and our joint work on ending homelessness with London Councils is starting to bear fruit. www.bigissue.com/news/housing...

As part of London Climate Action Week, I visited Tipping Point East at Silvertown in the Royal Docks, the UK’s first circular construction hub. Great to see how reclaimed materials are helping cut waste in construction. A fantastic @london.gov.uk / Newham Council initiative.

Good to join @peteapps.bsky.social for a “fireside chat” at #Housing2026 in Manchester. Lots to discuss including the Mayor’s new Singapore-style City Hall Developer, the emergency package to boost home building in London, and our plan to speed up cladding remediation.

Very pleased with how this turned out. 😍

Delighted and honoured to recieve a RIBA Honorary Fellowship last night. Big congrats to my fellow nominees - it’s very humbling to be in such distinguished company! This honour also reflects the collective efforts of so many people I’m privileged to work with at City Hall.

The World Cities Summit brings together mayors, city leaders and experts from around the world to discuss how we build more sustainable and livable cities. At this year’s WCS in Singapore I spoke about the work we are doing on key worker housing, new towns and regeneration.

Inspired by Singapore’s public housing model, @london.gov.uk has set up a new City Hall Developer with a £100m investment into Silvertown Quays. Earlier this week @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social and I visited SkyResidence at the Dawson’s estate in Singapore built by the state-owned HDB.

Back from a packed few days in Singapore with Opportunity London meeting investors, developers and city leaders to make the case for investment in London’s homes and infrastructure. Strong interest in our city and a great fondness and affinity for London and Londoners. 🇬🇧🤝🇸🇬

Today @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social has launched our new City Hall Developer, with a £100m investment by @london.gov.uk into Silvertown Quays in the Royal Docks. This joint venture with Lendlease will deliver 7,000 homes, including 1,800 affordable homes. www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...

It was fantastic to join @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social and mayors from around the world at the ceremony awarding this year’s Lee Kuan Yew prize to London. We know London is the greatest city in the world - and now we have the trophy to prove it. 🏆

Great to be in Singapore with Opportunity London, meeting investors and making the case for greater investment in housing across our city. London needs more homes, especially affordable homes, and partnerships with investors can help unlock the housing and infrastructure we need.

Nine years ago today, 72 Londoners tragically lost their lives in the Grenfell Tower Fire. The bereaved and survivors are still waiting for justice. It’s vital that those responsible are held accountable, and that we ensure no disaster like Grenfell ever happens again.

We’ve published a new London-wide plan to speed up the removal of dangerous cladding. Our partnership with government, the BSR, councils and the London Fire Brigade will boost enforcement, hold bad actors to account and put residents at the heart of the process. www.london.gov.uk/new-plan-pub...

With a new mayoral administration in New York City it’s an exciting moment to visit, share ideas and learn. It was great to meet with Deputy Mayor for Operations, Julia Kerson, and city government representatives from NYC to discuss housing policy, challenges and solutions.

It was an absolutely scorching day to celebrate the groundbreaking for 651 new homes at Barking Riverside with L&Q, more than half of which will be affordable. A new GP practice is also on the way nearby in advance of the larger, permanent health facility in the district centre.

Today I joined Old Oak Park Royal Development Corp. to launch their search for a partner to help deliver 8k new social, affordable and private homes and 11k jobs. With all the land at Old Oak now in single public ownership this is an incredible opportunity in what will be the best connected place.

We’re determined to use all levers at our disposal to get more homes built. The Mayor of @london.gov.uk’s next London Plan will be streamlined - half the length of the current Plan. City Hall will also be more interventionist on calling-in planning applications. www.mylondon.news/news/propert...

A great morning to be on the Thames Clipper heading to Barking Riverside. ☀️😎

It was good to join the #politicslondon panel to discuss @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social’s ten years as Mayor of London: 🏗️ Record numbers of affordable homes started across City Hall housing programmes, around 90,000 of which are complete. 🏡 Nearly 30,000 new council homes delivered or underway.

A gorgeous afternoon at the Barbican.

Thank you @centrepointuk.bsky.social for hosting a valuable roundtable at UKREiiF on how we can scale up “stepping stone” homes for young people. It was great to meet Jordan, a resident of Reuben House in Southwark (part-funded by @london.gov.uk) and to see a new modular unit by Portakabin.

It was lovely to attend the opening of Goldfinch Point in Hackney - 76 new affordable homes for older people delivered by Anchor and Hill Group with funding from @london.gov.uk. Accessible and affordable housing is vital to help older Londoners live happier, healthier lives.

There are positive signs that under new leadership the Building Safety Regulator is being turned around. I saw an example of this when I visited London Square’s Stratford Cross site with the BSR’s Operations Director, which received swift approval at Gateway 2 and is underway.

Whether its transforming London's air quality, raising council home building to its highest level since the 1970s, or getting the pedestrianisation of Oxford Street underway, @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social has delivered major achievements over the last decade. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The number of people sleeping rough in London fell 11% in the first 3 months of 2026. This is a welcome sign that @london.gov.uk’s Rough Sleeping Plan of Action and work with government, London Councils and charity partners is starting to bear fruit. www.bigissue.com/news/housing...

May Day has always been a celebration of workers’ right but it is now a day of renters’ rights. 💪🫂❤️ Congrats on this achievement by many campaigners, several key heroes (they know who they are) and a progressive government!

The Renters’ Rights Act comes into force today. It’s the biggest leap forward for renters in a generation, and means London’s 2.7m renters have new rights: 🚫 A ban on no fault evictions 🐈 More rights for parents and pet owners 💷 Rent can only be increased once a year.

It’s a relief to hear the two victims are in a stable condition. This attack, along with the other antisemitic attacks in recent weeks, is horrifying. I know that Jewish Londoners will be feeling fightened. Action must be taken to protect London’s Jewish community. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We were delighted to have Deputy Mayor @tomcopley.bsky.social as a keynote at the London Housing Summit. He highlighted the Mayor’s work on pushing forward housing delivery – including the City Hall Developer Fund & streamlining the London Plan. centreforlondon.org/newsletter-s...

Today I set out the Mayor of @london.gov.uk’s approach to co-living at Bloomberg’s #CityLabMadrid, summit, as well as the steps we’re taking to boost conventional housing delivery. Good to join Tatsuo Igarashi, Mayor of Tsukuba and Anna Bedmar, founder of habitation dot com, on the panel.

It’s great to be at the Bloomberg Philanthropies CityLab summit, where @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social has just announced the launch of a new AI and Jobs Taskforce. The Taskforce will be chaired by Martha Lane Fox and will look at impact of AI on Londoners. 🔗 www.london.gov.uk/mayor-announ...

At the @centreforlondon.bsky.social housing summit I set out how @london.gov.uk is working with ministers to boost homebuilding in London. Afterwards I spoke to Kumail Jaffer about how 2026 will be a turnaround year for housing in London. www.mylondon.news/news/zone-1-...

City Hall is working closely with the government to get more homes built across London. Today @julespipe.bsky.social and I met with Housing Minister @matthewpennycookmp.bsky.social to discuss housing and planning matters, including the Mayor’s new £12bn London Social and Affordable Homes Programme.

It was good to join National Housing Bank CEO Simon Century at the opening plenary of @insidehousing.bsky.social’s Build More Homes and New Towns summit. I set out the range of measures being taken by @london.gov.uk and ministers to boost home building. www.insidehousing.co.uk/news/large-o...

Saying hello to our friendly neighbourhood lion. 🦁

It was great to have a tour of Grand Union, a major regeneration scheme on a former industrial site in Brent. I’m delighted that SNG and Berkeley Group are delivering 269 brand new homes for social rent as part of the next phase of the development, with funding from @london.gov.uk.

It was great to visit Good Place Lettings to hear about their socially responsible alternative to traditional lettings agencies. They work with landlords who want to offer properties to people who are homeless, with profits reinvested into supporting people experiencing homelessness.

An incredible result. At Budapest Pride last year there was a palpable anger not just about Orbán’s attacks on LGBTQ+ rights, but the institutional corruption that enriched his family and his associates while making Hungary poorer. “They’re stealing from us!” one man told me.

NEW: Today I’m announcing plans to deliver at least one new late-night youth club in every London borough - the biggest investment in youth clubs ever made by a Mayor. We’re bringing youth clubs back. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

What a wonderful evening to be by the river!

Thanks for coming down to Merton again Tom! Delighted to be with you on site of our new sustainable council homes

I visited Merton with @metecoban92.bsky.social to see the first new council homes in the borough for 40 years get underway. The first phase will see 75 homes across several sites built to Passivhaus standards, supported with funding from the @london.gov.uk. Well done @mertoncouncil.bsky.social!
