The mayor is responsible for budgeting and strategic planning of some governmental functions across the whole of the London region.
Initiatives taken by the Mayor of London include the Congestion charge on private vehicles using Central London on weekdays, and the London Partnerships Register which was a voluntary scheme without legal force for same-sex couples to register their partnership, and paved the way for the introduction by the United Kingdom Parliament of civil partnerships.
