I can’t believe an actual prime minister has fewer grey hairs than me! 😭 Lovely to meet Rob Jetten at World Pride in Amsterdam.

It’s very encouraging to see another fall in the number of people sleeping rough in London. It’s a sign the Mayor’s Plan of Action and our joint work on ending homelessness with London Councils is bearing fruit. But we know there is still much more to do. www.insidehousing.co.uk/news/rough-s...

Rough sleeping falls by 10% in London following introduction of Sadiq Khan’s action plan

The number of rough sleepers in London has fallen by 10% compared to last year, following the introduction of a Mayoral Rough Sleeping Action Plan.

The Ending Homelessness Accelerator Programme is working to prevent and tackle all forms of homelessness in London. It was great to chair the first meeting of the board since the local elections with new London Councils co-chair Cllr Anthony Okereke.

The attack on LGBTQ+ people at Berlin Pride is absolutely horrifying. My thoughts are with everyone affected, and my heart goes out to the family and friends of the person tragically killed and those injured.

It’s fantastic news that the Thameside West development is moving forward, which is being delivered by our partners Arada London. This exciting regeneration scheme in the Royal Docks will deliver a total of 5,000 homes, 35% of which will be affordable. www.estatesgazette.co.uk/news/arada-u...

It’s fantastic to hear @andyburnham.bsky.social commit to council home building and ending rough sleeping. @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social committed in his manifesto to ending rough sleeping in London by 2030 and we look forward to working with this government to deliver on that pledge.

The Mayor’s new draft London Plan sets out how we will make the best use of land, including building new homes near public transport. Places for London have a key role to play delivering homes by stations, and it was good to join their panel at the London Labour conference.

London has just recorded the first annual fall in the number of people sleeping rough in a non-Covid year since 2017. At LGA conference I set out how the Mayor’s Plan of Action on Rough Sleeping and our Ending Homelessness Accelerator Programme with London Councils are starting to bear fruit.

The Mayor of @london.gov.uk’s new draft London Plan is out today, and we’re asking you to help shape it. It’s streamlined - around half the length of the previous London Plan - and has housing and growth at its heart. You can read it and have your say here: 🔗 www.london.gov.uk/programmes-s...

Once a derelict dockside site, Royal Albert Wharf is now a thriving community. As the last of the 1,856 homes complete, I had a tour of the site and met one of the residents of the London Living Rent homes. Thanks to @london.gov.uk funding, 45% of the homes are affordable.

It was great to sit down with @jessmccabe.bsky.social @insidehousing.bsky.social to discuss our emergency package of measures to boost home building in London, council housing and our new City Hall Developer. www.insidehousing.co.uk/insight/lond...

We just celebrated the first new homes at Northgate Park in Haringey. This is a very special development for City Hall. As well as funding affordable homes, the Mayor bought the site from the NHS using his Land Fund. That means 60% of the 995 homes will be affordable.

I joined Building Safety Minister Samantha Dixon MP to see progress on a building undergoing cladding remediation with funding from the Building Safety Fund. The visit highlighted many complexities including multiple defects, site constraints and a developer/freeholder who refused to engage.

In London we’ve taken inspiration from Singapore for our City Hall developer, and from Vienna for low-cost loans for housing associations. Good to discuss how we’re learning from other cities - and how they’re learning from London - at the @thefabians.bsky.social Housing Summit.

Happy Pride everyone! Amazing to join over a million people coming together to celebrate London’s LGBTQ+ community.

It was fantastic to celebrate the completion of the first 733 homes at Lombard Square in Thamesmead, delivered by Berkeley Homes and Peabody. Lombard Square will be 40% affordable, with funding from @london.gov.uk. Once an industrial site, now a beautiful, green neighbourhood.

Great evening at the @london.gov.uk City Hall Pride reception yesterday, celebrating London’s LGBTQ+ community. Looking forward to Pride in London on Saturday.

It’s fantastic news that the latest figures show a fall in the number of people sleeping rough in London. It’s a sign that the Mayor’s Plan of Action, and our joint work on ending homelessness with London Councils is starting to bear fruit. www.bigissue.com/news/housing...

Rough sleeping falls in London: 'Positive change is possible'

The number of people sleeping rough in London fell 2% in 2025-26, official statistics show, as Sadiq Khan aims to end street homelessness by 2030.

As part of London Climate Action Week, I visited Tipping Point East at Silvertown in the Royal Docks, the UK’s first circular construction hub. Great to see how reclaimed materials are helping cut waste in construction. A fantastic @london.gov.uk / Newham Council initiative.

Good to join @peteapps.bsky.social for a “fireside chat” at #Housing2026 in Manchester. Lots to discuss including the Mayor’s new Singapore-style City Hall Developer, the emergency package to boost home building in London, and our plan to speed up cladding remediation.

Very pleased with how this turned out. 😍

Delighted and honoured to recieve a RIBA Honorary Fellowship last night. Big congrats to my fellow nominees - it’s very humbling to be in such distinguished company! This honour also reflects the collective efforts of so many people I’m privileged to work with at City Hall.

The World Cities Summit brings together mayors, city leaders and experts from around the world to discuss how we build more sustainable and livable cities. At this year’s WCS in Singapore I spoke about the work we are doing on key worker housing, new towns and regeneration.

Inspired by Singapore’s public housing model, @london.gov.uk has set up a new City Hall Developer with a £100m investment into Silvertown Quays. Earlier this week @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social and I visited SkyResidence at the Dawson’s estate in Singapore built by the state-owned HDB.

Back from a packed few days in Singapore with Opportunity London meeting investors, developers and city leaders to make the case for investment in London’s homes and infrastructure. Strong interest in our city and a great fondness and affinity for London and Londoners. 🇬🇧🤝🇸🇬

Today @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social has launched our new City Hall Developer, with a £100m investment by @london.gov.uk into Silvertown Quays in the Royal Docks. This joint venture with Lendlease will deliver 7,000 homes, including 1,800 affordable homes. www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...

It was fantastic to join @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social and mayors from around the world at the ceremony awarding this year’s Lee Kuan Yew prize to London. We know London is the greatest city in the world - and now we have the trophy to prove it. 🏆

Great to be in Singapore with Opportunity London, meeting investors and making the case for greater investment in housing across our city. London needs more homes, especially affordable homes, and partnerships with investors can help unlock the housing and infrastructure we need.

Nine years ago today, 72 Londoners tragically lost their lives in the Grenfell Tower Fire. The bereaved and survivors are still waiting for justice. It’s vital that those responsible are held accountable, and that we ensure no disaster like Grenfell ever happens again.
