Why isn’t London having babies anymore?

from The Standard

Birth rates are falling faster in London than the rest of the UK since the 2000s. To find out why, whether it’s a concern, and what can be done, Rachelle Abbott sits down with Kate Wills, who has been investigating the topic for The London Standard. Plus, we continue to celebrate some of the capital’s hidden gems. This week we turn to The Hill Garden and Pergola in Hampstead with John Darlington, director of projects for the World Monuments Fund. Is this the perfect spot for a Valentine's weekend stroll? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
