On Lesbian Visibility Day, we celebrate lesbian Londoners and the contribution they make to our city. London proudly champions your freedom to be exactly who you are and to love who you choose.

Happy St George's Day 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Today we celebrate England’s rich history and the communities that make our country strong. In London, that means standing together across faiths and backgrounds with pride, respect and unity.

Happy St George’s Day to everyone celebrating across London 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Today we’re reminded of England’s proud history and the values that continue to unite us.

London’s Jewish community has endured shameful antisemitic attacks. Despite the fear & anxiety the community came together for Shabbat at Finchley Reform Synagogue joined in solidarity by members of the Somali Bravenese community. That is the London I believe in. Hate won't win.

This list of empowering individuals touches on the diverse experiences of lesbians and queer individuals within the legal sector 🌈 This year's foreword is by @debs_wb diva-magazine.com/2026/04/21/leg…

Vaisakhi on the Square today with @mayoroflondon and @debs_wb . A celebration of London’s Sikh community #vaisakhi

London: the V&A East Museum opens this weekend - and it's amazing. Backed by City Hall funding, this major new addition to East Bank strengthens our city as a world-leading cultural capital while generating millions for our economy and creating jobs and opportunities.

Happy Vaisakhi to London’s Sikh and Punjabi communities. Today marks the celebration of harvest and the founding of the Khalsa by Guru Gobind Singh Ji. I’m wishing everyone peace, prosperity and joy ❤️

Romani communities have long shaped the fabric of London. On #InternationalRomaniDay, we honour their many contributions to our city. We also recognise the ongoing need to challenge discrimination against Romani communities & stand together for dignity, respect & justice for all.

Wishing Christian communities a blessed and peaceful Easter. This is a significant time of year grounded in the meaning of sacrifice and renewal. It reflects the enduring power of hope, the promise of new life and the importance of coming together in faith and reflection.

Happy Passover to all those celebrating in London and around the world. As Mayor, I want to thank Jewish Londoners for your enormous contribution to our capital city.

We are building a network of remembrance that centres the voices of the enslaved. And we’re calling on community groups to nominate a Site of Memory to help map and recognise local historical connections to the slave trade. london.gov.uk/programmes-str…

This week we marked the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Remembrance is more than a look back, it is a commitment to confront the truth of our past and the systemic legacies that still shape our city today.

On International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade, I'm sharing an update about Sites of Memory. Alongside The Wake in London Docklands, we will support groups to uncover local histories across our city. buff.ly/MjruinG

The Jewish community is our community - in London, people of all faiths and none should be able to live peacefully alongside each other. I was humbled to visit Hatzola ambulance service today. We stand together against antisemitic hatred - we’ll always reject those who seek to divide us.

Hatzola has provided vital support to all communities across London for decades. Good to be back and spend time with inspirational Jewish staff and volunteers. Yesterday’s awful antisemitic attack was an attack on us all. Those who seek to divide us will not win.

The @tweetWLS Interfaith Sedar was a vital reminder that division will never win. Following the antisemitic attack in Golders Green, it was deeply meaningful to join people across faiths & backgrounds to reflect on the meaning of Passover - a story of freedom, hope & resilience.

The Employment Rights Act is bringing more rights and stronger protections for Londoners. You can check what this means for you and what to do if you face a problem at work with our online Employment Rights Hub. ➡️ london.gov.uk/employmentrigh…

This is a cowardly attack on the Jewish community. I am in close contact with the police who are stepping up patrols in the area, and I urge anyone with information to come forward. Londoners will never be cowed by this kind of hatred and intimidation.

Nowruz marks the arrival of spring, a season of renewal and hope. In these challenging times, I wish all those celebrating Nowruz well in London and across the world.
