Sadiq Khan wants London to host the 2040 Olympic Games as part of his quest to make the city 'the sporting capital of the world'.
London 2012 proved to be a monumental success and Khan, Mayor of London since 2016, is determined to bring the Games back to the UK.
The Olympics were held in London in 1908, 1948 and 2012 and hosting the Games for a fourth time would be a record.
The 2040 Olympic mission is part of a strategy aimed at boosting the economy by bringing a series of sporting competition to these shores.
