The BBC's famous old-fashioned neighbourly policeman, Dixon of Dock Green could host virtual reality information covering street directions, train and bus information and suchlike. London should have the first ever multi-ethnic flag for the 21st century to reflect its true population. Each borough should have a sound created by local people to symbolise the area. Rates need to be restructured in order to tax business according to scale. Chains such as Pret A Manger, for instance, now pay the same rates as a local florist.

If we don't save small businesses, London will lose its soul and become like Singapore or Hong Kong - a shrine to capitalism. Certain districts need to be designated 24-hour zones with no licensing restrictions so that we encourage chance encounters. These should be sited around the city to encourage areas of night life other than the West End. This will economically and culturally benefit those places and will reduce traffic in the centre of London. They should be pedestrianised and be areas that have a lot of businesses and relatively few homes.
