I think I can speak on behalf of all the #EastBank culture, innovation and education partners in offering warmest congratulations to @SadiqKhan @MayorofLondon on the award of his Knighthood @LDN_Culture @justinesimons1
Truly humbled to have received a knighthood in the King’s New Year’s Honours. I couldn’t have dreamed when growing up on a council estate in south London that I'd one day be Mayor of London. It’s the honour of my life to serve the city I love. https://t.co/W7wHF7pm1V
