Sadiq Khan is set to abandon City Hall and move the home of London government to the East End to save £55m, it was revealed today.

The Mayor said quitting the landmark building on the south side of the Thames next year would protect front-line services and help speed-up the regeneration of the Royal Docks.

He has earmarked The Crystal, a small conference centre in Newham, located beside the Emirates cable car’s northern terminal, as the new home of the Greater London Authority. It would be renamed City Hall.
