BBC Radio London

BBC Radio London is the BBC's local station for the capital, with local news, talk and music. The schedule is built around London life, with traffic and travel news, local politics, community stories, phone-ins, sport and a broad musical mix that reflects the city's diversity, including soul, gospel, reggae, Afrobeat and popular hits. Presenters are well known in the capital, and the tone is warm, lively and conversational.

This entry is the version intended for listeners outside the United Kingdom, listed at 96 kbps in the station data, which is useful because some BBC streams are restricted to UK addresses because of rights. As a service of the BBC, it is funded mainly by the licence fee and carries no commercial advertising within the United Kingdom. The language is English, with the accents and expressions of London, which is an interesting experience for learners and for people who want to hear the city's voice. The stream is delivered as AAC+ at 101 kbps, an efficient codec that provides a clear sound at a moderate bitrate and works in most current browsers and on phones. It plays in your browser on RadioKite without installation, and you can add it to your favourites.
