Sport
We're working to harness the power of sport to help Londoners of every background to live truly connected lives where differences and diversity are celebrated.
Our vision for sport
Sport has the power to bring people together and improve lives, which is at the heart of the Mayor’s approach to sport in London.
The Mayor wants London to be the most socially integrated, active city and undisputed sporting capital of the world.
Our city lives and breathes sport and at a time when our society too often seems divided, I want to utilise this to strengthen the bonds between our communities and help make London the most socially integrated and active city in the world.
