The 2004 election to the post of Mayor of London took place on 10 June 2004. It was being held on the same day as other local elections and the UK part of the 2004 European Parliament elections, so Londoners had a total of five votes on three ballot papers. Polling opened at 07:00 local time, and closed at 22:00. See: UK elections, 2004. The Supplementary Vote system was used.

Ken Livingstone gained the Labour party's nomination on 2 January 2004, three weeks after being re-admitted the Labour Party, after deputy Mayor Nicky Gavron, the previous candidate-elect, stepped down in favour of Livingstone.

From the Manifesto booklet

Ken Livingstone - Standing up for London

Steve Norris - For a Safer London

Simon Hughes - A New Mayor for a Greater London

Frank Maloney - Stop the career politicians

Lindsey German - Londoners deserve Respect

Julian Leppert

Darren Johnson - Quality Life, Quality London

Ram Gidoomal

Lorna Reid - We live here too!

Tammy Nagalingam

London-born comedian Lee Hurst seriously considered standing as a candidate in the election. His comedy club had been under threat of redevelopment, and this had re-ignited a spark of political ambition. His manifesto would probably have included policies such as scrapping bus lanes and the congestion charge, improving public transport (including the re-introduction of bus conductors and AEC Routemaster buses), and tackling crime and abandoned cars.
