À propos de cet 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.

  • 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?

  • Transport hot topics with Elly Baker AM

    Transport hot topics with Elly Baker AM
    Sep 3 2025

    As well as being a Labour AM, Elly Baker is the current chair of the London Assembly's transport committee. In this podcast she talks about the decline of London's bus service, antisocial cycling and the transport committee's recent intervention over fare dodging - an issue that has been exploited by right-wing politicians as part of a larger negative narrative about the capital. And with London Underground strikes imminent, she draws on her experience working for trade unions to offer some thoughts about relations between the Tube unions and management.

    By-election update with Lewis Baston
    Aug 31 2025
    Lewis Baston is one of the most respected elections analysts in the country and his coverage of London's is unrivalled. He wrote for On London about a by-election in Cranford ward in the borough of Hounslow held on 21 August 2025 and an other held a week later, on 28 August 2025, in the very different West Hampstead ward in the borough of Camden. In this podcast, he elaborates on what the outcomes tell us about the capital's voters and its shifting political landscape.
