In a speech on Friday outside City Hall in Newham, Ms Garbett spoke of her plans to make London a Greener, fairer city with measures including free bus travel for young people and cleaner ways to use Silvertown Tunnel.

Ms Garbett’s candidacy received the backing of high profile Greens including the party’s sole MP Caroline Lucas, the party’s former co-leader Siân Berry and London Assembly member Caroline Russell.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan will run again for Labour in 2024. The Conservatives are yet to announce a candidate.
