Sadiq Khan has become the first person ever to win a third term as Mayor of London.
The Labour politician secured more than one million votes, trouncing Tory rival Susan Hall who picked up around 812,000.
In his victory speech, Mr Khan said Labour is "ready to govern again under Keir Starmer". "It's time for Rishi Sunak to give the public a choice. A general election. We just paved the path to a new direction for our country," he added.
Mr Khan declared that the result showed the capital had rejected hate and chosen hope. "It's been a difficult few months. We faced a campaign of non-stop negativity. But I couldn't be more proud that we answered fearmongering with facts, hate with hope, and attempts to divide with efforts to unite," he said.
