Sadiq Khan was joined by Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer for Mr Khan's launch event in Westminster.
Mr Khan vowed to deliver 40,000 new council homes for the capital between 2018 and 2030, building on his previous target of starting 20,000 which he met last year.

00:00 We have a once in a generation opportunity to make real inroads into solving London's housing crisis.
00:08 But that's not all. Because with a Labour Mayor and a Labour Government, we can end the scandal of rock sleeping on our streets.
00:18 With a Labour Mayor and a Labour Government, we can breathe new life into our public services.
00:24 With a Labour Mayor and a Labour Government, we can do even more to be a down from crime and lift up our young people.
00:32 With a Labour Mayor and a Labour Government, we can drive through far reaching reforms to the police.
00:38 And with a Labour Mayor and a Labour Government, we can seize the economic opportunities of net zero and create more, higher quality, better paying green jobs for our communities.
00:51 So friends, let me finish with this. Our city has arrived at a moment of maximum opportunity.
00:59 We can go from running against the tide of a Tory government to having the wheels of a Labour Government at our backs.
01:08 But we can only capitalise on this rare, precious opening if we ensure we retain the City Hall of Labour.
01:18 And the choice of the election couldn't be starker.
01:22 This is a two-horse race between someone who is committed to supporting Londoners through the cost of living crisis,
01:29 or a Tory candidate who voted against free school meals and our fares freeze.
01:36 It's a choice between a Labour Mayor who will continue to move our city forward and build a fairer, safer and greener London for everyone,
01:46 or the Tories who will reverse the gains we've made and take our city backwards.
01:52 It's a choice that will determine if London's brightest days are ahead of us or behind us.
01:59 And if the next generation of young Londoners can be better off than the last.
02:04 So please, don't leave it to chance. Vote for the future you want for our amazing city on May 2nd.
02:13 Thank you.
02:16 [Applause]
