We're issuing a fireworks safety warning after an accidental fire which is believed to have been caused by a stray firework landing on external cladding at a block of flats in #Ilford. https://london-fire.pulse.ly/vvqd0axhvq

It's #FloodActionWeek!

We’ve been working in collaboration with @dralimalik.bsky.social (University of Leeds) to help make risks and preparedness more easily understandable to communities.

Find our leaflet with key info on how to prepare, what to do during and after a flood here: bit.ly/46THXEt

Around 4.6 million properties in England are in areas at risk of flash flooding, which happens when the amount and intensity of rainfall overwhelms local drainage.

It can happen very quickly.

My statement on the second anniversary of the 7 October attacks.
Two years on from the horrific terrorist attack on Israel on October 7, we remember all the innocent victims whose lives were cruelly stolen by Hamas. Our thoughts are also with the families whose loved ones were callously murdered, as well as with the hostages who disgracefully remain in captivity and must be released immediately. October 7 was the single deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust and a profoundly painful experience for London’s Jewish communities. We must never forget this atrocity, nor the deep distress and grief it has caused many Londoners. As the vile terrorist attack on Heaton Park synagogue in Manchester last Thursday demonstrated, we still have far more to do to tackle the poison of antisemitism and drive it out of our society. Our Jewish communities must be able to live, work and worship freely – without the fear of harassment, discrimination, intimidation or violence. The fact they are currently unable to shows we must work much harder to stamp out antisemitism wherever it rears its ugly head. We must never allow conflict overseas to divide us at home. As Mayor, I will continue my work to promote inter-faith dialogue and build bridges between our different religious communities. Whether it’s antisemitism or any other form of bigotry, London has no place for those who seek to sow the seeds of hate. On this solemn anniversary, we must also acknowledge the suffering and trauma since 7 October 2023. Like so many others, my heart aches for the tens of thousands of innocent civilians in Gaza who have been killed and the families who have been torn apart. Today, more than ever, I pray that the cycle of terror, killing and bloodshed that has engulfed the region can soon be brought to an end; that the surviving hostages can be set free; that vital humanitarian aid can flow into Gaza; and that Israelis and Palestinians can one day live side-by-side in two states and in peace.

Now, more than ever, Londoners from all communities must stand together, show allyship to our Jewish friends and neighbours, and be united in our rejection of hatred.
In the wake of the heinous terrorist attack at Heaton Park Synagogue, I know many in London’s Jewish community will be feeling afraid. My thoughts are with the families of Adrian Daulby and Melvin Cravitz at this terrible time. Places of worship should be sanctuaries and safe havens for all. No one should feel scared to attend their synagogue, church, mosque, gurdwara or temple. As we head into the weekend, there will be increased police presence in and around synagogues across the capital. Our Jewish communities must be able to live and worship free from the fear of harassment, discrimination, intimidation, or violence. The fact they cannot do so is utterly unacceptable. It is clear that there is much more to do to rid our society of the poison of antisemitism, and we must redouble our efforts to stamp out this vile hatred wherever it rears its ugly head. Now, more than ever, Londoners from all communities must stand together, show allyship to our Jewish friends and neighbours, and be united in our rejection of hatred. MAYOR OF LONDON, SADIQ KHAN

My thoughts are with everyone affected by the attack in Greater Manchester today.
I’m horrified by the violent attack at a synagogue in Manchester. I have been in contact with the Mayor of Greater Manchester and the Home Secretary, and would like to reassure Londoners that the Met Police are stepping up patrols in Jewish communities and synagogues across London. My thoughts are with all those affected on the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, Yom Kippur. London stands ready to help in any way we can.

Delighted to join HRH The Princess Royal to mark the completion of the Tideway Tunnel.

This project is transforming the tidal Thames, dramatically reducing sewage discharges and creating new public spaces on the river for all Londoners.

On the 24th anniversary of 9/11, London stands united with our friends in the United States as we remember the thousands of innocent people who were tragically killed, including many British citizens, and the heroic emergency services who ran towards danger to help others.
