What projects is my government investing in London?
Every tracked government-money announcement directed at London — themes, programs, levels of government, and the largest verifiable amounts.
Summary
Security takes the largest share of government money named with London. That includes £73.4 million for Project Servator at faith sites and £75 million for LGBTQ military veterans sacked by the army; transport also received £73.2 million for zero-emission buses.
