Greatest Hits Radio London brings Bauer’s classic-hits format to the capital, playing familiar songs from the 70s, 80s and 90s alongside London news, travel and weather updates. The station serves Greater London and gives listeners a local route into the wider Greatest Hits Radio network.
The London service has a particularly strong commercial radio backstory. It launched as Virgin 105.8 in 1995, later became part of Virgin Radio, then relaunched under the Absolute Radio name before switching to Greatest Hits Radio on 105.8 FM in May 2021. That gives the station a direct link to one of London’s best-known commercial radio frequencies.
For London listeners, Greatest Hits Radio London is a strong choice if you want recognisable presenters, big singalong records and local information without a modern chart-heavy format. The station sits neatly between national personality radio and local London service, with classic artists, regular news bulletins and travel information for the capital.
Notable shows & presenters are:
- Ken Bruce: Presents the weekday mid-morning show from 10am, including PopMaster.
- Simon Mayo: Hosts Drivetime every weekday from 4pm and The Album Show on Sundays.
- Kate Thornton: Presents weekday afternoons after Ken Bruce across the Greatest Hits Radio network.
