Only 2,358 homes were started with City Hall funding in 2023-24 with 10 of the capital’s 33 boroughs not getting out of single figures.

London needs 43,000 affordable homes a year until 2041 to address scale of demand.

In return for 4bn of Government funds, Sadiq Khan must start between 23,900 and 27,100 homes by March 2026 .
