One of the things
that sets LCA apart is our focus on London and the knowledge
we build up, day in and day out, on what is happening
in the capital. This is more than just information, it
is intelligence which we put to good use in the advice
we give to our clients. Here are some examples.
London Political Map, July 2008
The third edition of our double sided map was produced in partnership with London Councils and includes the results of the Mayoral and London Assembly elections held in May 2008. It also shows the political control of London's 74 Westminster constituencies and 33 London Boroughs as well as providing information on the capital's new assembly members and ministers/shadow ministers.
Predicting London's Elections 2008
The 2008 London mayoral and Assembly elections are both important and exciting, not just for the capital but for UK politics.
The result will have a profound impact on London life, especially with new powers for the Mayor that came into force on 6 April. Together with the Assembly result, they will provide a clear marker for a general election in 2009 or 2010. We will also see many new faces on the Assembly and perhaps a more dynamic group of politicians who will hold the Mayor whoever wins to account.
The predictions in this document bring together, for the first time, an analysis of the previous six elections at national level (2001 and 2005), regional level (2000 and 2004) and local level (2002 and 2006). They provide a fascinating and rich insight into the elections on 1 May and into the politics of London generally.
Good
Year Bad Year
LCA’s review of 2007 sets out
the highlights and lowlights of the last
12 months. The latter included the 27 teenage
murders in London, the Cutty Sark fire
and for faded rock fans the Hammersmith
Palais closure while the former consisted
of the opening of St Pancras International
and Wembley as well as the Tour de France
among others.
The document maps all the issues LCA remembered most for a good/bad and high
impact/low impact year. At the same time, and given our reputation for quite
accurate predictions, we came up with 20 names to watch in 2008 in London. Not
surprisingly Ken Livingstone, Boris Johnson and Brian Paddick are there given
it is election year, but there are a few other names to ponder too.
LCA London Local Elections Results
Following the London Local Elections on
4 May, LCA give an alphabetical snapshot
of the results in each of the 32 boroughs,
look at some interesting statistics
that came out of the election, and reveal
how close our March predictions were
to the actual outcomes.
London
Newspaper War, September 2006
The first salvos were fired on the streets
of London on 4 September in a bloody
first bout of what promises to be a long,
expensive and increasingly dirty battle
for the hearts and minds of London’s
newspaper readers. In this special LCA
briefing, we set out the facts, sort
the wheat from the chaff, and generally
explain what it’s all about.

Introduction:
The high court ruling that the Met Police
is guilty of breaching health and safety
laws over the shooting of Jean Charles

evidence of systematic failure” and
that no individual could be held accountable...

Review
of the Mayor's Powers, July 2006
As LCA predicted last autumn, the Government's
review of the Mayor's and GLA's powers
in July 2006 resulted in an extension
of authority for London regional government
in several key areas. This special
briefing looks at the sectors where the
Mayor will be given a stronger role as
well as the areas where he had wanted
more power to be handed over by the Government.
