Timeline

1947

His grandparents migrated from Lucknow in United Provinces, British India to Pakistan following the partition of India in 1947.

1968

His father Amanullah and mother Sehrun arrived in London from Pakistan in 1968.

Khan was the fifth of eight children, seven of whom were boys.

In London, Amanullah worked as a bus driver and Sehrun as a seamstress.

Khan and his siblings grew up in a three-bedroom council flat on the Henry Prince Estate in Earlsfield.

He attended Fircroft Primary School and then Ernest Bevin School, a local comprehensive.

Khan studied science and mathematics at A-level, in the hope of eventually becoming a dentist.

A teacher recommended that he study law instead, as he had an argumentative personality.

The teacher's suggestion, along with the American television programme L.A. Law, inspired Khan to do so.

He studied Law at the University of North London (now London Metropolitan University).

His parents later moved out of their council flat and purchased their own home.

Like his brothers, Khan was a fan of sport, particularly enjoying football, cricket, and boxing.

From his earliest years, Khan worked: "I was surrounded by my mum and dad working all the time, so as soon as I could get a job, I got a job. I got a paper round, a Saturday job—some summers I laboured on a building site."

The family continues to send money to relatives in Pakistan, "because we're blessed being in this country."

He and his family often encountered racism, which led to him and his brothers taking up boxing at the Earlsfield Amateur Boxing Club.

While studying for his degree, between the ages of 18 and 21, he had a Saturday job at the Peter Jones department store in Sloane Square.

1970

Sadiq Aman Khan (, ; born 8 October 1970) is a British politician serving as Mayor of London since 2016.

Joining the Labour Party, Khan was a councillor for the London Borough of Wandsworth from 1994 to 2006 before being elected MP for Tooting at the 2005 general election.

In 1994 he married Saadiya Ahmed, who was also a solicitor.

Also in 1994, Khan became a trainee solicitor at a firm of solicitors called Christian Fisher; the firm undertook mainly legal aid cases.

Before entering the House of Commons in 2005, Khan practised as a solicitor.

Under Blair's successor Gordon Brown, Khan was appointed Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government in 2008, later becoming Minister of State for Transport.

He also backed expansion at London City Airport and Gatwick Airport.
