Wishing Muslims in London and around the world a blessed Eid Al-Adha 🌙

Eid is a time when Muslims come together with family and friends to enjoy good food, company and conversation. We recount the story of the Prophet Ibrahim, learn about his sacrifice and millions follow in his footsteps during these blessed days on Hajj.

From my family to yours, Eid Mubarak.

Ramadan Lights have returned to light up the West End  ✨

It was an honour to be part of the switch on again this year. This dazzling display sends a clear message to the world: London is for everyone and we celebrate our diversity. #Ramadan

🥇It’s official: London is the best city in Europe for culture 🥇
 
It comes as no surprise that our capital takes the crown, with: 
 
🎭 More than 200 museums and galleries
🎭 Almost 800 cultural activities on offer
🎭 Plenty of free things to do

To Muslims celebrating Eid Al-Adha in London and around the world—Eid Mubarak!

This is a special time to remember the virtue of putting others first and I've been so inspired by the charitable efforts Muslim Londoners have made to support others during the cost of living crisis—thank you for your generosity.

I hope you have a wonderful time with your friends, families and neighbours.

The London Underground was the world’s first underground railway. Today marks the beginning of a special year of celebrations for its 160th birthday. 
 
I was delighted to kickstart the celebrations and unveil a new roundel at Baker Street, one of our oldest Tube stations.
 
The Tube is a true London icon. I’m so proud of its history and I’m determined that the London Underground will continue to deliver a world-leading service fit for the 21st century, and contribute to a better, safer and fairer city for all Londoners.

Sikh Londoners make a huge contribution to the spirit and success of our city. It was fantastic to celebrate Vaisakhi with Londoners from all backgrounds in the heart of our capital today.

Today at Trafalgar Square we celebrated the ways London’s Irish community has helped shape life in our city.

Ahead of the day itself, I would like to wish a very Happy St. Patrick’s Day to everyone celebrating here, in Ireland and around the world. #StPatsDayLDN

The devastation of the Grenfell Tower fire will never be forgotten. 
 
My thoughts are with all those who lost their loved ones seven years ago. I will continue to stand with them and the local community in their struggle for justice for the victims and survivors 💚
