Petition Hold a referendum on London becoming independent from the UK

London is the world's capital. 300+ languages are spoken here. Immigrants are welcome, and are vital to our economy.

We voted decisively to stay in the EU. Our global outlook sets us apart from the rest of England.

London's population is 8.5m – Scotland's is 5.3m.

Independence makes sense.

Specifics: If you live within the M25, you get a vote – just like in the Scottish referendum. It doesn't matter if you're a British citizen or not. If you don't live within the M25, you don't get a vote.
