London's night czar, Amy Lamé, is encouraging people to make the most of the extra hour gained from the clocks going back to support the city's night-time economy and enjoy its nightlife, especially in the run-up to Christmas.

She also advocates for VAT-free shopping for non-EU visitors to boost tourism. However, her role and efforts have faced criticism from various political parties, with concerns about London's nightlife and licensing laws.

Lamé has been London's night czar since 2016 and seeks government support to revitalize the night-time industry.
