This event is being jointly hosted by Onward and the Centre for Policy Studies to launch our new report Fixing London Housing. 

We are thrilled to be joined by Rt Hon Sir James Cleverly MP, Shadow Housing Secretary, and Laila Cunningham, Reform UK’s London mayoral candidate, as we set out the framework to boost housebuilding across the capital.

As our report shows, London is failing to build the homes it needs. In 2024/25, construction started on just 4,170 homes across the capital, even as London’s population grew by close to 100,000 people. This dramatic collapse in housebuilding means the capital now faces its most severe housing challenge since the Second World War. But the centre-right has a unique opportunity to turn this around.

Join us for an open, candid discussion about how the centre-right can lead the way in delivering the homes London needs.

This event has already taken place. Please see our full events list for details of our other events.
