Telegraph - Boris Johnson welcomes New York mayor Michael Bloomberg
Boris Johnson has been picking up tips on running one of the world’s great cities during a meeting with the New York Mayor, Michael Bloomberg.

As the two mayors met at City Hall overlooking the Thames, Mr Johnson gave his American counterpart a novelty shirt featuring the London Underground.

In return, Mayor Bloomberg handed over a crystal Big Apple paperweight in a Tiffany jewellery box.
