Dear John
This week has been so much fun as I’ve been out and about in London filming a new video. My highlight was meeting Bermondsey stalwart Marjorie <[link removed][0]=68.ARAtbdGin7TvycLuySca-AOEdjsqpaFor2EOj9bZF0fKz1XryPcw55CuqJx4L3d5pDOpEByFmf4vOJEzT40bEsfS8_25sc1Bo3ZJqHQ-g0dtNmQr8btsV2im8u09LXltDDx_jaII6BiBz9JWsunsE4HdSFyGlf9HzaxSmE-8x4UFe5XzMR7P1p0O2t_b1Skx9mLfc4XgTqKrzppOGF6s9scAM5ehqsDWtD0pApSFPXe2tNH3B15fygBnjEr48Bib3zeyt_IAVZMYzYXqJT-M-s5w4o_u6vHpkI3uXtqzZS2LBSN5p9JRHZhtmibjgjwQcIzJZOLruWT47n9w4HaJW5mF3g&__tn__=-R>, who not only shared how London could be better - but how my leaflets could be better too!
We’re making a video that shows off the kind spirit of London and I can’t wait to share it with you soon. Watch this space.
As you would expect, I’ve also been on the campaign trail. I kicked off the week by joining Safe Passage on their protest <[link removed]> against the government removing protections for child refugees. But made a point of not ambulance-chasing <[link removed]> in response to the fatal incident in Seven Kings. We need to be serious and considered in our response to such tragedies.
Read on to hear about what else I’ve come across in London this week, including discovering secret tunnels and giant balloons!
Kind Regards
Siobhan Benita
Lib Dem Candidate for Mayor of London <[link removed]>

LOVE LONDON
The abandoned London Underground tunnels of Clapham that were once used as homes <[link removed]>
Our historic city is full of secret stories. This one reminded me of my visit to the Well Line, where the underground Postal Railway in Farringdon is being reimagined.
BETTER LONDON
London becoming ‘off-limits’ for non-elites, and idea of moving to the city to make fortune a myth, report finds <[link removed]>
Far too many people in our city can’t access all the brilliant things it has to offer. We need a kinder capital that provides the opportunity for everyone to succeed.
