I think we're stuck with Theresa for now. At this moment in time, it's not exactly a dream job to take.

Evening Nicolas It astonishes me that people in London bother with cars. The bus, train and tube services are phenomenal.

But it was for the Olympics!! For a month, not for forever. Has an Olympic Stadium ever been reused for an Olympics?

Some blocks now being build to rent where the operator has contracts with taxi firms and residents get discounts and reserved cars. Also many blocks have car clubs operated by Hertz etc. Car parking is a waste of valuable land space in zones 1-2, and bad for the environment. Thankfully Khan is a lot more in tune with the problems London has with space and air quality than Boris ever was.

I'm not saying it won't, and I said at the time it was being built that the dome would eventually come good and even if it didn't we got the south section of the Jubilee line out of it. It just should have been built ready to convert, not purely for Athletics. They've already had quite a few concerts there but I've heard getting in and out is a bit of a ball ache. The aquatic centre, the copper box and the velodrome have all had good use since 2012.
