Only on @thestrandgroup's MA Government Studies @KingsCollegeLon can you ask a former British Prime Minister to help you with your essays.
A huge privilege to chair an exceptional final session of our No.10 and Conservative Years modules with @David_Cameron this year.
More notable if an administration *doesn't* talk about moving out (and then decide against it)

This one's spectacular. In the 1960s, London's Mews were still being used to keep horses. This clip spoils us with a lovely glimpse of the people, pubs, and lifestyle among the cobbled backstreets that have since become expensive housing. They certainly had more personality then than nowadays. @Britains___Pubs

New study by @KingsCollegeLon Policy Institute
measured various gaps between what people think is true of #london and what it actually true. Large misperceptions about crime, Muslims and quality of life were revealed: onlondon.co.uk/new-study-rev… @jackwbrown @MayorofLondon
This @policyatkings study is important - revealling how disconnected perceptions of London are from reality.
e.g. London has the lowest violent crime in England&Wales - but many think it has the highest.
Could not agree more with Prof Bobby Duffy here:

Politicians and commentators have talked London down for far too long.
Today’s research from Kings College shows just how far lies about our city have spread. But Londoners know the truth and we’re fighting back.

Catching the light around, and above, Guildhall. Views include the 15th-century Great Hall, sunlight streaming through a stained glass window in one of the medieval crypts, and Guildhall Yard (i.e. the site of London's Roman amphitheatre) and the City's skyline, taken from the roof terrace of Guildhall's West Wing.

I’ve just got round to listening to this superb documentary on how to inject decency into our politics. Well worth a listen. It’s a sign of Peter Hennessy’s stature that everyone came to tea at his house for what he sadly says will be his last broadcast 👏 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002yv…
