About BBC Radio London
BBC Radio London is the BBC’s dedicated local radio station for Greater London, mixing news, talk, music, and sport coverage aimed squarely at the capital and its listeners. It streams free online at bbc.co.uk/bbclondon alongside its standard broadcast.
The station’s focus is London itself: local news, what’s happening across the boroughs, sport, and the kind of conversation that wouldn’t make sense anywhere else in the country. That’s a narrower brief than BBC Radio 2 or 5 Live, and it shows in the programming. If you want national headlines, there are bigger BBC stations for that. Radio London is for people who actually live here and want to hear about it.
If you found this page looking for the pirate station of the same name that broadcast from a ship in the 1960s, that’s a different operation entirely. This is the BBC’s current, legitimate local service for Greater London, and it’s free to stream right now.
