概要

The UK capital is routinely and sometimes mischievously misrepresented and misunderstood. This is bad for the city and for the country, which depends heavily on London's economy, its international character and its global prestige - even though it often fails to recognise this or admit it.


The True London podcast series is dedicated to covering London's politics, places and people accurately and fairly with a view to challenging false narratives about the city - and hopefully entertains along the way.


It augments and complements the output of the journalism website OnLondon.co.uk and the personal Substack of Dave Hill, who edits and publishes On London and presents True London.

  • The Lib Dem challenge in Southwark & elsewhere

    The Lib Dem challenge in Southwark & elsewhere
    2026/04/30

    This year's local elections in London are the most unpredictable for years and likely to produce changes in the political control of most of the capital's 32 boroughs. The Liberal Democrats have had less publicity than all the other parties, yet the have good grounds for thinking they will emerge stronger after 7 May. They may not win a majority on Labour-run Southwark Council but hope to win a substantial numbers of seats, perhaps the largest number, in a possible hung council.


    The leader of the Lib Dem group, Victor Chamberlain, talked about their local campaign on the ground and the parties wider prospects across the city.

  • Antisemitism and other hatreds in the city - and how to stop them

    Antisemitism and other hatreds in the city - and how to stop them
    2026/03/26

    Daniel Sugarman is the deputy editor of Jewish News. He's written eloquently about the impacts of antisemitic attacks on Jewish communities, including the one at the start of this week that saw the torching of ambulances owned and operated - for the benefit of people of all faiths and none - by a Jewish charity. This took place in the car park of a synagogue in Golders Green, an area where many Jewish Londoners live.


    Jewish News also recently ran a powerful editorial in response to extraordinary and virulent attacks by right-wing politicians on an entirely legal and tranquil open iftar that took place in Trafalgar Square, defending the right of Muslims to celebrate their faith in public spaces (as many other religions do in Trafalgar Square).


    We spoke about all of the above along with the double standards and ulterior motives found among politicians and campaigners on both Right and Left in their attitudes to Jews and antisemitism, especially in the current, anxious climate. Daniel also set out his concerns about the laws relating to protest marches.
