Voting has closed in polling to decide the next Mayor of London and assembly members to represent different parts of the capital.

Electors went to the ballot boxes between 7am and 10pm today (May 2) to choose who they want to sit in City Hall across the next term.

The voting system has changed for the Mayor of London to a first-past-the-post system, in line with general elections.
