We want you, the capital’s sharpest citizens, to shape Time Out’s manifesto. That way we will be representing real Londoners rather than well-financed interest groups. Tell us what you think here and help shape London’s future with Time Out.
Here are some of the ideas we’ve already received:
‘Bring in FREE wi-fi across London. The internet is the greatest tool of knowledge – it should be free for everyone, not just coffee shop dwellers.
Bring down the price of cab hire – it’s a rip-off.
Change all traffic light bulbs to LED ones – huge savings can be made. Good for the environment too.’ Rumpleproofskin
‘Make recycling fun. And profitable. Create effigies of Boris Johnson, Red Ken and the other one. Place them in a roped-off area in the local tip. Charge £1 to be able to fling bottles at our target hate figure. Then sweep the glass up. Put the shards into a windmill. And grind them into builders sand, using windpower.

The Time Out Mayor of London cake challenge took to the streets of the capital today and a large crowd gathered at Oxford Circus as we offered them the opportunity to vote with their mouths.
The choices of cake flavour were as follows: Brian Paddick Orange sponge, Ken Livingstone nut cake, Boris Johnson toffee cake and me, Michael Hodges, your Time Out candidate for Mayor of London, chocolate cake. And would you believe it, the overwhelmingly favourite flavour amongst Londoners was the chocolate cake.
Proof then that there is a groundswell behind our campaign and London is ready for change. We also signed up new supporters and filled several buckets with loose change. Consequently our Blue Peter-style donation thermometer is edging up towards the magic £10,000 mark that will put our campaign on the official voting register in May (which is why every pound pledged matters). Thanks to all that came and remember you, the people of London, are writing our manifesto.
