The Londoner is a newsletter from the Mayor of London. Launched in December 2002, it is published 10 times a year and is delivered to Londoners via a free door drop. Copies are also available from libraries, a selection of tube stations and City Hall.

The Londoner highlights the work of the Greater London Authority Group and keeps Londoners up to date about the key issues affecting life in the capital.

It is an essential source of information about the work of the Mayor of London, Transport for London, the London Development Agency and the Metropolitan Police.

Every month we cover a range of issues including transport, policing, health and the environment. Readers are given a chance to have their say and participate in current debates through our Letters and Talking Point pages. We also publish details of how Londoners can take part in public consultations.
