I’m still astonished how many Londoners haven’t clocked that Sadiq Khan had to leave Norman Foster’s “glass testicle” two years ago because he couldn’t pay the rent. For me it’s the ultimate metaphor for his mayoralty. Transport for London was pretty much bankrupted by his fares freeze, and the golden age of investment that delivered new trains, stations, entire Tube lines, Crossrail, a cable car, boats, buses and a cycle hire scheme is depressingly over.
