Sadiq Khan has begun his first day in office as Mayor Of London and in a nod to his ‘son of a bus driver’ heritage, taken a bus and a Tube from his Tooting home into City Hall.
Khan’s arrival on his first day in office was markedly different from that of his predecessor, Boris Johnson.
Although famous for cycling just about everywhere, the former mayor turned up at City Hall in 2008 in a private car.
Khan beat his rival Zac Goldsmith to the top job on Friday night, when it was announced he won 1,310,143 votes to the Tory MP’s 994,614.
After a long-fought campaign, Khan pledged in his speech immediately after being sworn in to be a “mayor for all Londoners”.
“I’m determined to lead the most transparent, engaged and accessible administration London has ever seen, and to represent every single community, and every single part of our city. A Mayor for all Londoners,” he said on Saturday.
