Story summary
  • Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, pledged in 2021 to ban gambling advertisements on the Transport for London (TfL) network, but the ban remains unimplemented because the central government has not issued guidance or started a public health impact review.
  • Gambling companies have spent nearly £5 million on TfL advertising.
  • Seven London councils and other critics urge Khan to fulfill the commitment without waiting for national guidance.
