The London Assembly champions the interests of London and its communities. It holds the Mayor of London to account and investigates issues that matter to Londoners. There are 25 Members who are elected by Londoners every four years, at the same time as the Mayor. 

The Assembly meets in public so that Londoners can see how they are being represented. Everyone is welcome to attend the meetings. 

The Assembly publishes all its reports, agendas and minutes on its website www.london.gov.uk/assembly where there is also information about current and forthcoming reviews and investigations. Webcasts of most of its meetings are on the website. 

City Hall, the GLA Headquarters, is open to the public on set weekends throughout the year. Visitors have the opportunity to see and walk round some areas that are not normally open to the public during the week. These include the Chamber, a purpose built space for meetings and debates, London’s Living Room on the top floor, with spectacular views of the Thames and Tower Bridge, and the spiral ramp, which winds its way through the building.
