Show Notes
Like the Tube itself, Amy Lamé is a London icon and legend - and she asks Tim to meet her at one of London’s busiest stations for nightlife, Tottenham Court Road, to talk about her role with the Mayor of London as ‘Night Czar’. What does that mean - and how important has the night tube been for London’s communities and businesses, including Amy’s famous club nights?
For 160 years, the London Underground has been connecting people and places in so many ways, but a shared love for everything about the system has created a community in itself. Tim heads west on the Piccadilly line to meet his old friend, and one of the internet’s best-known Tube enthusiasts, video producer Geoff Marshall, Tim and Geoff chat about the joys, delights and friendships that the London Underground can bring – and how Geoff’s relationship with the Tube grew from an old London Atlas that was collected by his grandfather…

On a very sunny rooftop overlooking central London, podcast guest presenter Louis VI meets Lilli Matson, TfL's Chief Safety, Health and Environment Officer to talk about the city she helps to keep moving - and changing.
For London Climate Action Week 2026, guest presenter Louis VI heads to a tube station platform for a personal chat with Mete Coban, London's Deputy Mayor for Environment and Energy — the person tasked with steering one of the world's biggest cities, and its transport network, toward net zero. In this episode, they get into the scale of the challenge: how London and TfL plans to power itself, what rewilding actually looks like, and what the climate targets that are often talked about actually mean for the lives of real Londoners.
TfL's official podcast returns for London Climate Action Week 2026. Musician and zoologist Louis VI takes the reins as guest host, sitting down for insightful and genuinely personal chats with the people actually making the calls on London's climate future — the Deputy Mayor for Environment and Energy, and TfL's Chief Safety, Health and Environment Officer. Expect the big stuff: electric buses, TfL rewilding, cleaner energy for transport, and London's ambitions to lead the world on climate. But also the unexpected — including a beaver called Justin, and a plan to turn the entire city into a giant sponge.
Tim puts on his very best moquette socks and accepts a generous invite into the heart of City Hall, to chat with Deputy Mayor of London for Transport Seb Dance about a couple of big questions, including:
What's the biggest innovation of the last 25 years on public transport in London? Is it the Elizabeth line, the contactless revolution, the Overground line naming, electric buses, new trains that are incoming on the Piccadilly line and DLR - or something else? What about the Night Tube?
