With Brexit deadline looming, London's mayor wants to reassure Europeans living in the capital In London's City Hall, European Londoners symbolically receive their "resident status" ahead of the October 31 Brexit deadline, in a ceremony similar to those held to grant British citizenship and attended by London's mayor Sadiq Khan. The event, organised by the mayor, also included a legal counselling workshop, where Europeans received advice from immigration lawyers, with Khan wanting to "send a message" to Boris Johnson's government.
