London

In a series of invitation only roundtables, key decision-makers and thinkers will discuss what the next government will need to do to tackle the capital's most pressing problems.

In the next four years London will face huge challenges: from working to regenerate local economies and improve job prospects for Londoners, to tackling the pressing shortages of primary school places in the capital; and from tackling rising youth crime, to meeting the challenges and maximising the opportunities of the fast approaching Olympic games.

The roundtables will help inform London Councils' Manifesto for London which will set out how local, regional and central government can work together to deliver tangible benefits to London and to Londoners.
