Background

The Mayor’s Budget sets out the Mayor of London’s financial plan to deliver his priorities for the year ahead.

What does the Budget pay for?

The Budget funds the Greater London Authority (GLA), the London Assembly and the GLA Group. The GLA Group includes: 

  • Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (oversees the work of the London Metropolitan police).
  • Transport for London
  • London Fire Commissioner
  • London Legacy Development Corporation (leads on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park)
  • Old Oak & Royal Park Development Corporation (leads on the regeneration of the Old Oak Opportunity area). 

Council tax

The Budget also determines how much Londoners will pay for the Mayor’s part of the council tax collected by local authorities. The Mayor’s part of the council tax (called a ‘precept’) helps pay for services provided by City Hall and the GLA Group.
