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.

  • Will Sadiq Khan run again? And other mayoral speculation. With Tim Donovan

    Will Sadiq Khan run again? And other mayoral speculation. With Tim Donovan
    Oct 18 2026
    Tim Donovan, as many of you will know, was for a long time Political Editor of BBC London. He's covered even more mayoral election campaigns than I have. Recently, Tim wrote a piece for me at OnLondon.co.uk in which he argued that Sadiq Khan will probably not seek a fourth term as Mayor, having already won three elections in a row. We talked about that, possible alternatives as Labour candidate for 2028, who the other parties might select for the contest and what the chances are of a non-Labour candidate winning. #london #sadiqkhan #labour #conservatives #greenparty #mayoroflondon #mayoralelection2028 #truelondon

  • How London is Misperceived. With Dr Jack Brown

    How London is Misperceived. With Dr Jack Brown
    Sep 21 2026

    The Policy Institute at King's College has produced an authoritative study of the differences between what the British public believes about London and what official statistics show, concentrating mostly on crime the capital's population and its general quality of life.


    Dr Jack Brown is Senior Lecturer in Government Studies at King's and the author of, among other top pieces of work about the capital, a short book called The London Problem (Haus Publishing). It was a pleasure to speak to him about the Policy Institute's very illuminating findings.
