The mayor of London has given a keynote speech at a charity event in support of the Olympic Park's independent charity.

As co-founder of The Legacy List, Boris Johnson set out his vision for continued business success at the charity's London Means Business dinner.  

Speaking at the event, he said: "It is now 15 months since the Olympic and Paralympic Games transformed the East London landscape and created a surge of confidence and optimism in our city.

"The Games have already delivered an enduring physical legacy with the long-term future of all eight Olympic and Paralympic venues now secured, together with a sporting and volunteering legacy.

"The Legacy List, the charity my office co-founded with the London Legacy Development Corporation in 2011, has an important part to play in helping to create a lasting cultural, social and economic impact that touches the lives of all Londoners."
