It's the last working week until the Christmas spirit takes over the whole city and the year winds to a festive halt. Make sure you get to the Gingerbread City while it's at its best, and skip the Christmas shopping in favour of talks on the future of London.

Old Kent Road - Breakfast Talk | 15 December
This breakfast talk from the NLA is focused on the transformation of Old Kent Road which will see an incredible 20,000 new homes and 5,000 jobs in the future. The area is currently home to major industry and a huge amount of companies, which strengthens its hold in the city, and with the two new Bakerloo stations set to arrive, this is an area to watch.
