Last year only 18,750 new homes were built across the whole of greater London - despite their analysis of governments figures showing that 56,400 new homes were needed.

Across the Greater London area, the situation varies borough by borough - Haringey, Harrow, Kingston upon Thames and Richmond upon Thames are the worst offenders - Haringey built only 110 new houses last year, despite needing an estimated 1,761 - a ratio of a paltry 6.2%.
