The London mayoral election is set to take place on May 6 after a year's delay.
The emergency Coronavirus Act 2020 postponed local elections across England, meaning the current mayor Sadiq Khan served an additional twelve months. Labour candidate Khan is currently running for re-election, with a strong lead in the polls of 41 per cent compared with his Conservative opposition Shaun Bailey, who currently sits at 28 per cent.
This year there are a record-breaking 20 candidates standing in the London mayoral election, with six million people registered to vote. Here's everything you need to know about the election ahead of polling day.
