Show Notes

High prices, rising utility bills, rogue landlords and poor living conditions are all contributing to a growing crisis in London’s rental market and it is young people who are bearing the brunt.


With 2.7 million people renting in the city, paying on average around 40% of their income on rent alone, does this make London the worse place to be renting? Jacob Phillips joins us to talk about the challenges faced by many people when it comes to accommodations choices and what impact the Government’s Renters Rights Bill might have on the situation.


Plus one of the world’s oldest and most famous amateur sporting rivalries takes place this weekend, as Oxford and Cambridge Universities go head-to-head in the annual Boat Race, but will the water quality of the River Thames pose a serious risk to the rowers taking part? The Standard’s Megan Howe is here with the latest on what advice is being given to the teams and all the details of when and where you can watch the race.
