    Londons Mayor Sadiq Khan faces criticism for the citys emergency cold-weather system for homeless individuals.

Recently, SWEP was turned off and on repeatedly, leaving many homeless people exposed. Charities like Centrepoint and Crisis call for constant emergency beds, as rough sleeping is dangerous year-round. Mayor Khan visits a homeless hotel, pledging to keep help available during the upcoming cold weekend and discussing year-round support with councils. Checkout Solipillow.com

  • Bakerloop Bus: A Success Story

    01:30|
    Bakerloop Bus Service Soars: A Success Story in Southeast London The Bakerloop bus service, launched in September, has exceeded expectations with 367,000 passengers in its first ten weeks, generating £231,000 in fares. Initially projected to earn £540,000 annually, the route has already surpassed this estimate. The service, introduced as a temporary solution to delays in the Bakerloo line extension, has received positive feedback from Londoners, with 82% finding it more convenient and 79% experiencing faster trips. Despite a significant funding gap, Southwark Council has contributed over £5 million from local developments. If ridership remains steady, Bakerloop could reach £1 million in its first full year, serving as a smart interim solution for southeast Londons transport needs until the real Bakerloo extension arrives around 2040.
