More than 6,000 council homes have been left unoccupied in London, figures from the 33 local authorities have shown.
Nearly a third were empty because they needed repairs and more than 2,300 have been without tenants for over a year.
Last year, there were more than 360,000 households on council waiting lists for new homes, or 11% of all households in London, the research found.
The details were obtained by BBC One's The Politics Show London through Freedom of Information requests.
