À propos de ce contenu audio

The UK capital is routinely and sometimes mischievously misrepresented and misunderstood. This is bad for the city and for the country, which depends heavily on London's economy, its international character and its global prestige - even though it often fails to recognise this or admit it.


The True London podcast series is dedicated to covering London's politics, places and people accurately and fairly with a view to challenging false narratives about the city - and hopefully entertains along the way.


It augments and complements the output of the journalism website OnLondon.co.uk and the personal Substack of Dave Hill, who edits and publishes On London and presents True London.

    • Is the Fair Funding Review fair to London? With Tony Travers

      Is the Fair Funding Review fair to London? With Tony Travers
      Oct 1 2025
      Professor Tony Travers of the London School of Economics is the best person you could possibly have to explain the fairness or otherwise of the government's plans for changing how it contributes to the funding of local government. We also dipped into the government Pride in Place funding programme and consider whether that will do much for the Uk capital, which is rich in many ways yet also has very high poverty rates.

    • Cllr Hina Bokhari AM: Lib Dems hopes, Sadiq, Trump & racism's return

      Cllr Hina Bokhari AM: Lib Dems hopes, Sadiq, Trump & racism's return
      Sep 28 2025

      Previously a school teacher like her dad, Hina Bokhari has been a Liberal Democrat Merton councillor since 2018, the first Muslim woman to win a seat in that borough. She was elected to the London Assembly in 2021.


      In our conversation she reflects on her party's recent conference, its attitude to London and hopes for making gains at next year's borough elections and speaks with feeling about the recent increase in racist incidents and flag intimidation.


      She also speaks up for the Labour Mayor following Donald Trump's latest insulting behaviour and recalls her father being a teacher and mentor to the young Sir Sadiq.

    • Jenevieve Treadwell on the Green Party's prospects

      Jenevieve Treadwell on the Green Party's prospects
      Sep 7 2025

      The Green Party's new national leader is a confident, charismatic, self-styled "eco populist" who has a seat on the London Assembly. Will his elevation help his party's electoral prospects n the capital or hinder them?


      An LSE Policy Fellow and expert number cruncher, Jenevieve Treadwell looks at the challenges the party faces with holding its broad electoral coalition together and making it bigger. Green supporters in Lambeth and Hackney might be enthused by Polanski's radicalism. But what about those in Richmond?
