In recent years some of London's busiest tourist hotspots have been calling out for measures to capitalise on visitors and make things better for local residents. One such thing proposed to raise vital funds for local authorities is a tourist levy, which has been considered by the likes of Mayor of London Sadiq Khan (back in 2024) and northwest London borough Brent.

As the exhibition explains, the council was granted new powers to direct local development in 1963, and its new department was led by a London County Council architect, Edward Hollamby, giving them a significant advantage when planning large estates. He was more interested in Scandinavian style modernism than the British New Brutalism exemplified elsewhere, and despite what you might see if you travel through the area, was more interested in low-rise developments instead of tall blocks.

A murder investigation has been launched after an 85-year-old man was found dead in Lambeth, with emergency services responding around 1pm on July 4.

Rather than simply shuffling traffic between side roads and main roads, as Harker asserts, low-traffic neighbourhoods in Lambeth and elsewhere lead to significant overall drops across the whole area.
