This week we've seen a rise in patients with breathing difficulties partly caused by thunderstorms and high pollen count.

We're urging Londoners to keep safe this weekend and save 999 for critical or life-threatening emergencies.

Stroke is a medical emergency. Remember F.A.S.T for the signs of a stroke.

Face – has their face fallen on one side? Can they smile?

Arms – can they raise both arms and keep them there?

Speech – is it slurred?

Time – it’s time to call 999
