Feel like you’re going nowhere? That’s because London remains the most traffic-congested city in Europe and the third worst globally, according to an annual survey.
Evening Standard transport editor Ross Lydall reports the Inrix 2023 global traffic score found speeds in central London fell 10 per cent in a year to an average of 10mph.
Ross joins Mark Blunden to discuss the capital’s most congested routes, TfL’s gridlock management strategies and how Londoners’ on-demand shopping habits are fuelling the problem.
Plus, make sure to stay tuned for part two, where we’ll analyse ‘Brat summer’ - a phenomenon that fuelled by Charli XCX’s new album that’s seen social channels overrun with low-res green squares inspired by the cover artwork.
Rachelle Abbott joins features writer Maddy Mussen to discuss her piece on Brat summer as the singer prepares to play a Glastonbury DJ set.
