London

London is one of Europe’s largest and most diverse cities, with a complex, high-capacity transport system that supports millions of daily journeys across the metropolitan area. Within POLIS, the city’s membership is a joint arrangement between Transport for London (TfL) and London Councils, representing the city’s 33 boroughs.

TfL is responsible for managing and operating London’s transport network, including strategic roads and public transport, and leads delivery of the Mayor’s Transport Strategy. A key objective of this strategy is to ensure that 80% of journeys in London are made by public transport, walking or cycling by 2041. The strategy also aims to decarbonise the mobility network, improve air quality and has a Vision Zero ambition for road safety so that no Londoners are killed or seriously injured on the road network by 2041.

London Councils represents the capital’s boroughs, which manage local roads and play a key role in delivering place-based transport measures across London. Working within the framework of the Mayor’s Transport Strategy, boroughs support walking, cycling, traffic reduction, and the creation of healthier streets. London Councils also coordinates several pan-London functions, including parking policy on local roads, the Freedom Pass, and the London Lorry Control Scheme.

Together, TfL and London Councils provide a coordinated approach to sustainable urban mobility in one of Europe’s most complex urban environments, combining city-wide strategy with local delivery to support safer, cleaner, and more liveable streets.
