Every great player starts with a stat card that looks pretty ordinary.

Potential: Unknown
Dreams: Unlimited
Local Court: Essential

That's why we're investing in better basketball courts with OG and NBPA, so more young Londoners can write their own numbers.

From Camden to NBA champion 🏀

London’s own OG returned to Camden to help celebrate our new investment in Argyle Square basketball court.

A reminder to all NHS staff: you are loved, wanted and appreciated by millions of Londoners, and we collectively condemn the vile racism you continue to experience.

That people feel emboldened to direct such racist language at anyone, let alone people like you offering them their care, is a damning indictment of how far-right rhetoric has poisoned public life.

To anyone who abuses NHS staff: you will be caught, and you will face the full force of the law.

Survey reveals medics were called ‘monkeys’ and ‘dirty foreigners’, and patients refused to be seen by black or Asian staff

Drink plenty of water, avoid the hottest part of the day where possible and look out for those with health conditions, older people, and young children and babies who might struggle to keep cool.

One fare. Unlimited bus and tram journeys. All weekend.

Thanks to the Weekend Hopper, every Saturday and Sunday until 31 August you'll pay just £1.75 for all your bus and tram travel that day when you tap in with the same card or device.

Travelling on route 49 or 295? You might spot one of our special frog-themed buses along the way.

Don't worry, the £1.75 fare applies across all London buses and trams, not just the frog-themed ones.

Londoners saved £2 million last weekend alone.

Some good news:

Youth rough sleeping is down almost half in London.

To everyone who’s helped make this possible, from the teams at City Hall to sector partners and outreach workers: thank you.

While the overall rough sleeping population fell 10%, it fell by nearly half among those aged 18-25.

More outdoor dining. More live music. More reasons to stay local.

My Summer Streets Fund is helping create vibrant outdoor spaces and support local businesses across London. Brent is home to four al fresco sites - ‘Little India’ on Ealing Road came alive today with Bollywood performances, music and market stalls.

Thames Water’s service has been shoddy, expensive and wasteful. They need to stop moaning and get a grip.

Not a penny of taxpayers' money should be used to bail out their shareholders.

Lord Sadiq Khan said Thames Water’s bosses and the regulator Ofwat needed to “get a grip” after years of “shoddy service”

I want London to be the best city in the world to grow up in.

My London Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) has teamed up with the Premier League and London's football club charities this summer. At Spurs Training Centre, I saw how we’re helping young Londoners build confidence, skills and friendships.
