A general view over London from the Greenwich Observatory, with Tower Bridge and St Pauls Cathedral, left, and the City, of London, Saturday, March 27, 2021. Brexit and the coronavirus pandemic have hit London in a perfect storm. On May 6, Londoners will elect a mayor, whose performance will help determine whether this is the start of a period of decline for Europe's biggest city — or a chance to do things better. Current Mayor Sadiq Khan, who is favored to win re-election, says his top priority is preserving jobs threatened by the economic blow of the pandemic. Rival Shaun Bailey says his top priority is crime. Whoever wins will face the challenge of leading London's fightback from its biggest shock for generations. (AP Photo/Alastair Grant)
