End of 2017 Message from the Mayor of London

2017 has been an extremely difficult year for London – a year marred by the devastating Grenfell Tower fire and appalling terrorist attacks.

But during these tough times, the incredible generosity of Londoners and the bravery of our emergency services has shown through. This has helped give a renewed sense of hope and optimism for the future.

A true test of character is how you respond in tough times – Londoners have more than met that challenge this year. We’ve seen exactly why London is the greatest city in the world.

I’m looking forward to a bright 2018.

We’ve made great strides in delivering for Londoners, working to build more genuinely affordable homes, tackling air pollution and making transport more affordable.

As the New Year arrives, I’m more determined than ever to make life in our city better for all Londoners.

I wish you all a Happy New Year.
