NEW: Plans are underway for a tourist levy to supercharge London's economy. It could raise *millions* to fund major improvements in our city.

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.

The moving cloud-like shapes that you can see in the air during winter are formed by starling murmurations! Starlings can be found in the UK all year round, but their population rises significantly in the winter months as they migrate from colder European countries. 🥶

London is a place that truly values diversity, inclusion, equality and opportunity – and is a shining success because of it.

I can only imagine that some political commentators don’t like our city because it’s an engine of social progress.
