London’s £2.2 billion Silvertown Tunnel beneath the Thames is set to open in the spring - but how will this impact traffic flow on the capital’s roads? There are concerns the crossing, set to impose a toll along with the Blackwall Tunnel, could push vehicles to other points along the river as drivers seek to avoid the charge. And what about cyclists? It’s this week’s ‘The London Question’ posed by the Standard in a comment piece by our transport editor and City Hall editor Ross Lydall, who joins us to discuss the mega-project. In part two, we examine what’s known so far about the Duchess of Sussex’s new cookery and lifestyle show titled With Love, Meghan - with The London Standard’s culture and lifestyle writer India Block. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
