It’s always strange where news stories come from. I’ve spent my career as an investigative journalist, and there’s never been a surefire way to find a scoop. Maybe the one thing a lot of my best pieces have in common is they often start with me looking over what the rich and powerful of the capital are up to. When it comes to the wealthy, that’s often tricky — London has myriad ways for those with the most money to hide their dodgy dealings just out of view.

It’s a sweltering Tuesday afternoon when we board the 36 from Queen’s Park to New Cross and settle on the top deck. It’s only a few minutes before a man gets on, sits in the front seat and initiates a loud, headphoneless video call before aimlessly scrolling Facebook videos with the sound on. Under a new proposal from the Liberal Democrats, this kind of behaviour would be an offence, punishable by a £1,000 fine.

Bruce Kenrick had run out of hope. It was 1963, and the upstart housing charity he ran out of his cramped, dilapidated flat in Notting Hill had no money, despite desperately trying to raise funds from friends, connections and even a stall on the Portobello Road — all to no avail. A radical priest who had spent time helping the poor in Kolkata and East Harlem before coming to London, Kenrick was charming, energetic and had an uncanny knack for pulling people into his quixotic plans.

EXCL: The University of East London was given a £1.6m grant by City Hall, a record high for any uni, right after it hired the mayor's wife. It promised the scheme would produce hundreds of green jobs. The number so far? Just 14. My @_TheLondoner scoop https://t.co/Z61iudLLlP
