In 100 days, Londoners will head to the polls to pick their next mayor. The campaign thus far has primarily been restricted to a clash of personalities, punctuated by uncertain media performances by Tory candidate Susan Hall. But this election is critical for the capital’s future.

He or she must work with the Government not only to secure Transport for London’s financial future, but also to fight for Crossrail 2, the Bakerloo line extension and other key projects.
