Will you be voting for the next mayor of London on 2 May?
It's time to meet the candidates who want your vote.
We asked all 13 what they would change about London if elected.
Here's what they said:

Some interesting policies, but could this be the clincher? A pledge that any shop that plays Christmas music before the start of December will be turned into a public library.
Don't forget: Two important changes to voting this time
- You won't be allowed to vote unless you have a valid form of ID with a photograph
- The election for London mayor this year doesn't use proportional representation, it uses first past the post, meaning you can only vote for one candidate and the winning candidate no longer needs to get more than half of the votes cast.
The election of Assembly Members still uses proportional representation, meaning that the number of AMs elected for each party will be roughly proportional to the number of votes cast for each party.
