This investigative short focuses on air pollution in South East London. The South Circular road in London is among the most polluted places in the city, and is also an characterised as an enclave of the city where a high proportion of working class and BIPOC families live.

In this episode of A Seat at the Table, we hear from Sadiq Khan, London’s mayor, about the invisible issues caused by air pollution in the UK’s capital. We hear about acute issues, like pollution emanating from disused tyres or by primary schools that are placed next to busy roads. We also hear from various voices in the capital who are intervening through architecture, design, activism and music to raise awareness of the plight for a cleaner, more breathable London.
