London Councils

London Councils is the collective of London local government, the 32 boroughs and the City of London Corporation. They come together through London Councils to work in collaboration to deliver their shared ambitions for London and Londoners.

Through lobbying, collaboration and partnership, we ensure the voice of the London Boroughs are united, and heard at a local, regional and national level.

Our shared ambitions for London

London Councils’ shared ambitions have been set by our Leaders’ Committee, which comprises the Leaders and directly elected Mayors of the boroughs and the Chair of the Policy and Resources Committee at the City of London Corporation.

Our Leaders’ shared ambitions focus on:

• London’s Future: Creating a city for all Londoners
• Climate Adaptation & Net Zero: Supporting boroughs to deliver a net zero and resilient London.
• Wellbeing & Prevention: Putting communities and prevention at the heart of health and care.
• London’s Voice: A shared narrative to maximise the city’s opportunities for all Londoners.

Collaboration

We support collaboration between boroughs. We work as a trusted partner with central Government, the Mayor of London, the voluntary and business sectors, and public sector partners such as the NHS to achieve a better future for London and Londoners.

Services

Our services provide fair opportunities for all Londoners. They include the Freedom Pass, Taxicard, Health Emergency Badge and a grants programme for voluntary sector organisations in London on behalf of our members.

We also support the Environment and Traffic Adjudicators and the Road User Charging Adjudicators, which are the independent tribunals that consider appeals against Penalty Charge Notices issued by the London Local Authorities and Transport for London.
