London’s streets, told by people who walk them
London Streets is an independent digital news publication covering the capital — its crime and courts, its councils and communities, its transport, its high streets and its people.
We publish fresh, original reporting every day: breaking news as it happens, court cases that matter, council decisions that affect your borough, and the community stories that make London what it is.
What we cover
- Crime & Courts — Metropolitan Police appeals, charges, trials and sentencing across London’s courts, reported factually and responsibly.
- Council & Politics — decisions from London’s boroughs, the Mayor and City Hall that shape daily life.
- Transport — TfL, road and rail: closures, disruptions, strikes and the projects changing how London moves.
- Community — the people, charities, pubs, markets and neighbourhood campaigns that keep the capital going.
- Business — high streets, openings, closures and the firms employing Londoners.
- What’s On — events, gigs and days out across the city.
- Education — schools, colleges and the issues affecting London’s young people.
How we work
Every story on London Streets is written by a member of our editorial team and rewritten in our own words — never copied from elsewhere. We verify facts against primary sources wherever possible: the Metropolitan Police, London Fire Brigade, Transport for London, borough councils and the courts themselves.
Our headlines are factual, our reporting distinguishes clearly between allegation, charge and conviction, and we never sensationalise sensitive stories.
