London’s night-time industries are the heartbeat of our city, contributing £139bn to our economy, yet too many businesses struggle to secure licences.

My new licensing plan proposes to extend opening hours and keep London thriving after dark.

Nightlife is a defining part of our city, but too many venues struggle to get the licences they need to grow.

I’m working to fix that with a fairer, simpler system that'll end the licensing postcode lottery & help businesses, boroughs & Londoners succeed.

Every young Londoner deserves access to safe, active and affordable spaces, especially during the colder winter months. That’s why I’ve partnered with the @nba.com and Better to offer hundreds of £1 basketball sessions at Better Leisure Centres across the capital.

London’s getting £1.5bn of the government’s new low cost loans for housing associations, 60% of the national pot.

They’ll be part of the Mayor of @london.gov.uk’s City Hall Developer Investment Fund.

The 0.1% interest loans have echoes of Vienna’s renowned social housing funding model.

We’re doing something that hasn’t been done in decades: providing low-interest loans to build the affordable homes Londoners desperately need.

This £1.5 billion investment from our new City Hall Developer Investment Fund will help kickstart delivery.

Great to meet architect George Clarke at Wingspan Walk in Tottenham Hale, a new social housing development from Haringey Council delivering hundreds of genuinely affordable homes.

A strong example of what can be achieved when we invest in building the homes Londoners need.
