The Leader Podcast: Why Londoners should stay in their city this Bank Holiday (and a few ideas on what to do)

As the Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden writes for the Evening Standard to persuade Londoners to spend money at attractions in the city, our Business Consumer Editor Jonathan Prynn tells us why.

We also discuss the dire straits of Theatreland, which is trying to battle back with a series of blockbuster openings like Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ‘Cinderella’.

And we look ahead to the Festive season, when the city’s shops will be making the same appeal as they try to finish a horrendous 2021.
