Noah Vickers
Political Reporter
About Noah
I am a political reporter based at the Evening Standard and funded by the BBC. My remit involves covering Mayor Sadiq Khan and the wider workings of the Greater London Authority - including the London Assembly, Met Police, London Fire Brigade, Transport for London, and other bodies.
My role is facilitated thanks to the BBC's Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS). Before joining the Evening Standard, I served as Local Democracy Reporter for Norfolk, based at the Eastern Daily Press.
I graduated with distinction from the Newspaper Journalism MA course at City, University of London in 2020 and with a BA in English Literature from St Edmund Hall, Oxford, in 2019.
I've also written about British and international politics for publications like the Sunday Times, Spectator and New European.
