There will be a series of core topics discussed on the night such as transport, policing and safety, housing, air quality and the environment and London's economy. Questions that fall outside of these core topics can be asked in the final open section.
You can find out more about the role of the Mayor of London.
We expect up to 6 questions (approximately) to be asked and answered in each of the main topic sections, but this may be more or less depending on time constraints. There is a chance of less questions being answered should there be any unforeseen issues.
The Chair will direct each question to the Mayor and/or Assembly Members for a response. Questions are intercepted live from the audience, therefore the Mayor nor Assembly Members will have access to the questions in advance.
We cannot guarantee that your question will be asked on the night.
If you are attending in-person the Chair will randomly select members of the audience from the floor to ask their question.
If you are viewing via the livestream and have registered online you can submit your questions via the live chat function on the night. The most popular question as voted for by livestream viewers will then be asked by the Chair to the panel.
For either option, we cannot guarantee that your question will be selected on the night. The Chair will try to get through as many questions as possible in the time available.
If your question doesn't get asked on the night, you can contact the Mayor after the event. We will aim to respond within 20 working days.
Owing to online safeguarding issues you must be 16 or over to take part.
There are a series of topics being discussed on the night including transport, policing and safety, air quality and the environment, housing London’s economy. There will be a final section where any other questions within the Mayor’s remit can be asked – for example about culture or education. Prior notice will be given in the lead up to the event, should the topic details change.
There will be a BSL interpreter live at the venue and also on-screen for those viewing online, including subtitles on the screen via a palantypist throughout the event. A full transcript of the event will be available on request. The venue chosen will be fully accessible.
If watching online, you will need to have digital access.
To be able to receive an in-person ticket for this event, you must register as instructed above for a chance to receive a ticket. Applicants will be notified week commencing 9 December 2024, where your ticket will be sent to the email address you provided by a third party (Eventbrite).
You can use your confirmation either on your device or printed off as your ticket for entry to the venue.
Entry to the venue is on a first come, first served basis, and is not guaranteed.
If watching online, you will receive a livestream link to the event. The benefit of registering is the ability to type your question into the live chat forum on the night. These are then put to the Mayor and London Assembly by the Chair. We cannot guarantee that your question will be asked on the night however.
Register to watch and participate online.
If you choose not to register, you can still watch the livestream on this page, without registering, but you won't be able to ask questions live.
The link will be live from 6.45pm for a 7pm start.
You can watch the event online even without registering, but you will not be able to pose a question.
If you would like the chance to ask a question, please register to watch and participate online.
As we want to get through as many questions as possible, from as many people as possible live at the venue, please make sure to:
- ask only one question
- stay on topic, such as transport, housing etc
- keep questions concise and to the point.
We want to ensure that Londoners get to ask their questions to the PQT panel, but we will not subject them, or viewers of the event, to abuse. Questions will, therefore, be moderated before they are posted to the live chat, and those that contain swearing, defamatory or illegal remarks or engage in ‘trolling’ will not be posted.
Questions that are off-topic, during a specific topic session, will also be discarded. We cannot guarantee that your question will be asked on the night.
