Speaking at the London Congress, a meeting of the Mayor of London and the capital's 33 boroughs at the Guildhall, Boris Johnson announced the 10 successful boroughs which have won funding to become 'low carbon zones'.
They are: Barking Town Centre (Barking and Dagenham), Muswell Hill (Haringey), Archway (Islington), Brixton (Lambeth), Lewisham Town Centre (Lewisham), Wandle Valley (Merton), Ham and Petersham (Richmond upon Thames), Peckham (Southwark), Hackbridge (Sutton) Queen’s Park (Westminster).
Each of the winning boroughs will be awarded at least £200,000 to pioneer energy –busting measures in their low carbon zones. The Mayor wants to make London a low carbon city, boosting 'green collar' jobs and helping to lower energy bills by becoming more energy efficient. These zones will showcase exactly how London can become a low carbon city by using a wide range of measures to help people cut carbon and by reducing the emissions of some of London's older buildings, which have generally been more difficult to make energy efficient.

London Councils Executive Member for Sustainability, Councillor Sean Brennan, said: "The low carbon zones show the joint commitment between the boroughs and the Mayor to make the capital more energy efficient. Not only will this have a huge positive impact on our environment but could also help Londoners save money.
"London's boroughs are committed to helping make the capital a greener place to live and work, and this is just one example of how the closer working between the boroughs and the Mayor through the City Charter is helping to improve the lives of every member of our community."
