Changing London for the better

The Mayor wants London to be a “city for all Londoners”. The work of the Mayor makes it easier for people to navigate the city; improves London’s environment; supports the growth of London’s businesses; provides more affordable housing for Londoners; and creates more opportunities for young people in London.

The Mayor outlines a vision for London. His duty is to create plans and policies for the capital which includes arts and culture; business and economy; environment; fire; health; housing and land; planning; policing and crime; regeneration; sport; transport; and young people.

The Mayor has an annual budget of £20.7bn which is invested into public transport, fire services and policing as well as the work of City Hall. The budget is financed from a combination of central government grants, transport fares and other charges, business rates and council tax. 

In line with his commitment to improve London, the Mayor invests in and collaborates with a variety of different people and organisations to achieve this aim.
