London's relentless heatwave has been a stark reminder of the changing climate and the need for adaptation. As the city swelters under the sun, it's not just the residents who are feeling the heat, but also the infrastructure and the environment. The Met Office's forecasts of temperatures reaching 30C and beyond have become a regular occurrence, with the city experiencing its tenth straight day of heatwave conditions.

I will also offer some personal reflections on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for the city and its inhabitants.
