Rather than demolish things, I'd encourage redevelopment of empty and semi-derelict sites, some of which are assets to the character of the city - much more so than typical new builds eg National Temperance Hospital.

I'd overhaul signage generally. From making sure there are street signs placed at regular intervals, to completely reinventing directional signage in tube stations (maybe through lines painted on the ground or colour coordinated tunnels), and finding ways to make the big train stations make more sense/be less stressful.

I'd steal the idea of 'fast walking lanes' o the pavement from Liverpool.

I'd sell the water cannons back to Germany and use the money to restart some community youth centres, which would be a lot more help in minimising harm from any future riots.

What would you make free? Higher education - it's a no brainer. Education is a right, not a privilege!

What would you demolish? Not sure if I'd demolish anything, but would definitely make all these brand new luxury flats that are either sitting empty or waiting to be snapped up by an oligarch into affordable housing.

The voice of the London Underground needs changing - who should do it? Frankie Boyle. That'll get commuters talking!

Where would you completely overhaul? Again, all luxury apartment blocks need to be turned into affordable housing, or something like libraries and museums.

Who is London’s biggest villain? Boris. This whole making London the business capital of the world by attracting foreign investment has only benefited big corporations, not Londoners!
