London calling Brexit: the UK's capital is one of the most overlooked issues in the debate

'London Calling Brexit' is a new series that will appear on the Brexit blog over the next few months. In this introductory post, the series editor, Tim Oliver (Loughborough University London), outlines why what Brexit means for London and what London means for Brexit is a central but overlooked issue for understanding Brexit. As he shows, with London as the UK's most distinct and important region, the way Brexit and London interact will have important implications for wider UK politics.
