Greatest Hits Radio (London)

Greatest Hits Radio London is the capital's edition of Bauer's classic-hits network. The programme is music-led, concentrating on familiar popular recordings from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. It offers a different pace of listening from a station whose principal subject is the latest chart music.

Presented shows provide company between the songs. Music features draw on listeners' memories, with PopMaster among the network's established quiz formats. The broader schedule combines conversation and entertainment with a selection that moves across popular styles from the station's core decades.

Ken Bruce presents PopMaster alongside Golden Years and guest contributions. Zoe Ball's afternoon programme includes Lunchtime Anthems chosen by listeners and the 54321 quiz, while Simon Mayo brings Confessions to drivetime. All Request Friday makes the audience's music choices central to the close of the working week.

Other programmes give the London edition room for longer conversations and more specialist selections. Jackie Brambles interviews musical guests in Great Conversations, with artists such as Gabrielle and Colin Blunstone among those featured. Jenny Powell builds The Mixtape from the network's core decades; Des Paul's Rhythm Of The Night concentrates on soul, funk and disco. Stephanie Hirst adds rarities from her vinyl library and live requests on original singles in Spinnin' The Decades.

London reporting adds a capital-focused strand to the shared programme. Its coverage has included London Poppy Day, events at London Zoo and public-space issues around Oxford Street. Reports on older LGBTQ+ people's experiences and emerging musician Julius Eastwood broaden that range beyond transport and public safety. The city therefore supplies specific cultural and community subjects alongside the music.
