As of November 1, 2026, London Mayor Sadiq Khan confirmed that the latest budget allows £10 billion in borrowing for infrastructure projects. This funding boost will support key transport initiatives such as the West London Orbital, Bakerloo Line Extension, and Euston knowledge quarter project. The West London Orbital, which would connect Hendon with Hounslow using existing railway lines, is expected to progress rapidly due to its use of current freight train routes. Additionally, the budget includes a new overnight visitor levy to fund these projects. Khan stated that this budget is "the most pro-London Budget" since he became mayor, enabling significant investment in London's future infrastructure.
