If the London Box had gone ahead half of Brixton would have been demolished and for various contingent reasons I’d never have been born.

In London, hate will never win.

We must unite against those who seek to divide us.

Dear Britain, it’s now clear: 20mph zones save lives and don’t slow traffic. Implement them | Sadiq Khan

Last week was London's biggest ever (and bestest) #LondonDataWeek. The perfect time for us to launch the new Data for London Library. Here's what it's about: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ1K...

dfl.london.gov.uk/library is a cool evolution of the London Datastore - allowing teams to signal what data exists, even if it’s not ready to share or to release in full. That visibility helps others discover, understand, and plan around the city’s data assets. www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/c...

📊 Data delivers real change for Londoners The new Data for London Library builds on 15 years of impact: 🫁 Air quality alerts 🏠 NetZero programmes 🤝 Rough sleeping insights 🚪 house-building and planning When data is discoverable, services improve #innovation 2/5

🚀@london.gov.uk just launched something big for city #data & urban #AI - the Data for London Library - transforming city data to improve public services. ✅ 5,100+ datasets ✅ Connects (not collects) public bodies & gvt datasets ✅ Built for AI revolution www.ukauthority.com/articles/dat... 1/5

Many years in the making this. The first small - but significant - step in overhauling London’s city data infrastructure is live at dfl.London.gov.uk

When people told us we couldn’t tackle toxic air pollution—we did it. When people told us we couldn’t fund free school meals for our kids—we did it. Together, we can help end rough sleeping in London by 2030.

Good news for accessibility in London. The free Snowball app—described as ‘TripAdvisor for the disabled community’—now integrates TfL’s step-free station data, making it easier for disabled people to travel independently. A more inclusive capital for everyone.

A UK-EU youth mobility scheme would make it easier for the Government to fulfil its growth ambitions. I wrote for LBC on why I’ve long urged the Prime Minister and British negotiators to pull out all the stops to get it over the line.

In London you’re never far from a great gig and we’ve made it even easier by creating a grassroots music tube map🎸 Great to launch #LondonCreatesMUSIC with @london.gov.uk at the Outernet! Check it out⬇️ metro.co.uk/2025/05/13/l...

With London's incredible density delivering new infrastructure projects can be the wicked-est of wicked problems. We've built the Infrastructure Mapping Application to help speed up projects and reduce costs. Read on: data.london.gov.uk/blog/data-as...

Nearly two-thirds of London’s CO2 emissions come from buildings, with domestic buildings account for 32% of emissions. Identifying which buildings would benefit from retrofit is tricky, but luckily machine learning can help. Enter the London Building Stock Model 2: data.london.gov.uk/blog/london-...

REMINDER: From the end of this month, non-folding e-bikes will no longer be allowed on TfL’s tube and rail services. While most e-bikes are safe, some have posed a serious fire risk. This ban is in place to keep Londoners safe, following a comprehensive review by TfL.

London’s creative industries help make our city the greatest in the world. I want London to grow and thrive over the next decade—they have a central role to play. We’re investing £10m in fashion, design, film and gaming to keep our capital at the forefront of these industries.

Today I’ve announced a new £6m fund to help organisations continue their life-changing work with some of the most vulnerable people experiencing domestic abuse. It will ensure victims and survivors of domestic abuse in safe accommodation get the specialist support they need.

Despite caseloads growing, domestic abuse support groups are struggling to survive due to the cost-of-living crisis and years of underfunding from the previous government. I’m working with partners to fund vital support services for thousands of domestic abuse survivors.

Due to the sudden drop in temperature, I am activating SWEP in partnership with London boroughs. Emergency accommodation will be open to anyone sleeping rough. If you see someone sleeping rough, alert Street Link and help them out of the cold. thestreetlink.org.uk

I wrote a thing about some of the things we can do to make AI things that serve all Londoners.

ULEZ works. Londoners are now breathing cleaner air thanks to @london.gov.uk’s bold and brave leadership 💚 t.co/b9ithf7WQ6

@politicanimal.bsky.social 👋

When I became Mayor, evidence showed it would take 193 years to bring London's air pollution within legal limits. Due to our transformative policies, we’re now close to achieving it this year.

Things we love to see

London air pollution down since Ulez extended to outer boroughs, study finds

ULEZ works. It’s that simple. Expanding the Ultra Low Emission Zone wasn’t a decision I took lightly, but the latest figures show that it was the right one for the health of millions of Londoners.

Last year, I announced that I was developing proposals to breathe new life into Oxford Street. My proposals are designed to unlock the true potential of Oxford Street and deliver a world-class avenue. I’m delighted to launch a public consultation so Londoners can have their say.

Oxford Street has been known as the nation’s high street, but the area has suffered in recent years. We’re developing proposals to unlock its full potential—creating jobs, boosting growth, and delivering a beautiful, world-class avenue. Have your say and help shape its future ⬇️

Our plan will help create 150,000 well-paid jobs, put an extra £11,000 a year in Londoners’ pockets, and generate billions in tax revenue for public services. This will drive growth across the UK while building a better, fairer, and more prosperous London for all.

5️⃣ We’ll ensure London is seen as the best place in the world to invest, work and innovate - whether it’s through green finance, tech or life sciences.

4️⃣ We'll revitalise our high streets and local economies, with a £21 million pound boost to local high streets to ensure every borough benefits from growth.

3️⃣ We'll deliver more affordable housing and infrastructure. From new rent-controlled homes to major transport upgrades, we want to make it easier to live, work and move around London.

2️⃣ We'll skill up Londoners for the jobs of tomorrow. We want to help every Londoner to find good work, which in turn will help our economy to grow.

1️⃣ We'll back businesses and innovation by helping small businesses to scale up and investing in cutting-edge sectors, like AI and clean tech.

The London Growth Plan is about unlocking opportunity, driving investment, and ensuring every Londoner benefits from a thriving economy. Here are five ways we will turbocharge growth across our capital:

We’ve been talking Data Libraries again at #PowerofData. We’re launching London’s Data Library later this year with a focus on making London’s data more discoverable and connecting the people who need to use it: chiefdigitalofficer4london.medium.com/towards-a-ne...

Why should we involve the public more in how we use public data? It makes things better. #PowerofData @jenitennison.com

The Mayor is calling on businesses and public bodies to donate unwanted IT equipment and help digitally excluded Londoners get online. A laptop or phone your organisation no longer needs could be life-changing for someone else. 🔗 Find out how to donate: loti.london/get-online-l... #GetOnlineLondon 💻

We know that tackling the complex causes of crime helps divert young people from violence into positive opportunities. I welcome the government’s £9.4m investment in my @london-vru.bsky.social to expand vital prevention and early intervention work. www.london.gov.uk/media-centre...

London is officially the world’s No.1 destination for 2025. From our unrivalled cultural attractions and world-class food scene to a sports calendar like no other—there’s nowhere like London. I’m delighted that Tripadvisor agrees that London is the top destination in the world.

I was delighted to celebrate the completion of the first of the 98 new social rent homes being built next door to Barkingside station. They’re being delivered in partnership between Vistry, Peabody, Places for London and LB Redbridge with funding from the Mayor of @london.gov.uk.

I’m proud to call @metecoban92.bsky.social one of my Deputy Mayors. From retrofitting our city’s homes to making London more resilient to the climate crisis, here’s some of the work City Hall has been doing over the past six months to ensure a fairer, greener London for everyone.

Climate justice is social justice. London’s green transition must lower bills, clean our air, and reimagine our neighbourhoods. My first six months as Deputy Mayor have been about making it work for every Londoner. Read my @theguardian.com interview www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
