As London gets ready to cheer on England, it's worth recognising our transport colleagues who will be working across the city. Through the hot weather and behind the scenes, they're keeping London moving, helping people go where they need to be. A huge thank you for everything you do, every day 👏

Pedicabs could be a fun, quick and green way to get around London, but they’re currently unregulated, which can lead to antisocial driving, loud music and steep overcharging. So, we're planning to regulate pedicabs for the first time in London, to make London safer and greener.

Today we remember the extraordinary sacrifice of a generation who - 80 years ago - defied the appeasers and refused to take the easy way out, who chose to stand up to tyranny and hatred. Raise a glass to freedom today and honour those who told fascism where to go!
