LDN Weekly – Issue 92 – 11 September 2019
BAILEY, BRIDGES, BORIS, BOVIS AND MORE
With Parliament now (illegally, according to Scotland’s Court of Session) prorogued, it is very hard to predict how the next few months will pan out.
LDN Weekly – Issue 91 – 4 September 2019
BAAA...CK TO BUSINESS
Pioneering sheep, hidden museums and old boats all feature in this week’s edition of LDN – London in short. Perhaps all of that will prove a welcome distraction from the political mire that this week has already wrought.
LDN Weekly – Issue 90 – 21 August 2019
DID YOU MISS US?
After a week off, we’re back with a bumper edition.
LDN Weekly – Issue 89 – 7 August 2019
BRICKS AND BREXIT
This week's edition of LDN drives home the point that any election in the next year, general or otherwise, is going to be about housing and Brexit and even when it’s about the NHS, it’s really about Brexit – see below for the story about the allocation of money for hospitals.
LDN Weekly – Issue 88 – 1 August 2019
DELAYED BUT UNDAUNTED
Our normal publication schedule was interrupted yesterday by a "chemical incident" next door, which saw the entire LCA team evacuated from the office in a bit of a hurry. A bit of a bother, but thankfully no-one was hurt. Read all about it in the Camden New Journal.

BORIS IT IS (OK you didn't hear this first from us but...)
All eyes are turned to No 10 as Theresa May bows out (along with the Chancellor and a raft of other frontbenchers) and former London Mayor Boris Johnson steps up as Britain’s new Prime Minister. But Boris is just the ruffled blond tip of the iceberg in the news this week.
LDN Weekly – Issue 86 – 17 July 2019
TRUST
Is undoubtedly the theme of this week's edition, as a report from a leading developer shines a spotlight on a significant lack of it between the public and the sector.
LDN Weekly – Issue 85 – 10 July 2019
PRIDE AND PROGRESS
The spirit of London as a thriving, diverse world city was at its peak over the weekend as 1.5m people turned out to celebrate Pride and mark the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots in New York.
LDN Weekly – Issue 84 – 3 July 2019
CAPITAL OF CULTURE
So much for a quiet summer. While Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt compete for the limelight and offer up their thoughts on housing and immigration, the current Prime Minister is making moves on developers before her time is up.
LDN Weekly – Issue 83 – 26 June 2019
WHAT BOJO GETS UP TO IN HIS SPARE TIME
It's been one of those weeks where everything seems to be happening all at once. A flurry of activity in City Hall has been matched by furious electioneering and a great deal of news from the wider planning and development sector.
LDN Weekly – Issue 82 – 19 June 2019
PLANES, PLANNING, PEOPLE - PROGRESS?
There’s been progress in one way or another this week, on lots of fronts, with Heathrow and other troubled infrastructure projects ploughing ahead against strong headwinds (though the potential future PM doesn’t seem too keen on at least two of...

LONDON AND BEYOND
It is almost two years since the Grenfell Tower tragedy and we look at what has happened since then.
