London is the greatest city in the world, but there’s always more to do! A tourist levy would make it an even better place to live and visit for everyone.

Congratulations to Claire Waxman on her new role as National Victims Commissioner.
Her commitment as London Victims' Commissioner has brought significant changes here and across the country, and I know she will continue to build a criminal justice system that is fit for purpose.

I’m keen to put summer streets dining and later opening hours back on the menu this summer.
Our world-class restaurants, cafes and bars have been restricted through bureaucracy and rules. The new £300,000 summer fund will help to kickstart al fresco dining and extend opening hours.
