Who represents me in London?

The last election for the Mayor and London Assembly took place on 3 May 2012.

The Mayor

The Mayor is elected to provide a voice for the whole of London. He manages a gross budget of £10.7 billion, develops strategies to improve the city, runs vital services such as the transport system and promotes London abroad. Elections for the Mayor are held every four years.

The London Assembly

Members of the London Assembly act as a check and balance on the Mayor. They are elected by the people of London every four years, at the same time as the Mayor. Some represent specific areas of London; others are elected as 'londonwide' members of the Assembly. The London Assembly scrutinises the Mayor's performance and makes proposals to the Mayor.
