The '''Mayor of London'' is a democratically elected office created in 2000. The office holds certain executive powers relating to the area of [[Greater London]]. Created in order to better facilitate coordination of services facilities and administration within the British capital, it was a position held from its creation until May 4, 2008 by "Red" [[Ken Livingstone]]. The current Mayor of London is the [[Conservative Party]]'s [[Boris Johnson]], who defeated Livingstone in the 2008 [[local elections]] which saw massive losses for the leftist [[Labour Party]] across the country.<ref>[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/borisjohnson/1922449/Boris-Johnson-is-the-new-London-Mayor.html Boris Johnson is the new London Mayor] - Daily Telegraph, May 3, 2008</ref>

The London Mayor has a budget, and is regulated by the [[London Assembly]]. The office has authority over a variety of areas, mostly regarding coordination of public services within the area. The [[London Congestion Charge]] was initiated by then-Mayor Ken Livingstone in 2003, and the administration of public transportation across the area is also controlled by the office. The upcoming [[London 2012 Olympic Games]] will, and already has, involved large amounts of planning and involvement from the Mayor of London.

The salary of the office-holder is on a par with that of a Government Cabinet Minister.
