But a petition on the change.org website by Tory councillor Matthew Goodwin-Freeman calling for the Labour politician not to be given a knighthood had racked up more than 100,000 names as of yesterday [SUN].
The petition accuses Mr Khan of presiding over spiralling crime, as well as rising living and transport costs, during his time in City Hall.
It says: "Sadiq Khan's tenure as Mayor of London has devastated the city we love so much. Our once thriving capital is now divided and stagnant, and all under his watch.

"We've seen Khan continuously deflect responsibility and accountability, blaming everybody but himself.
"London, once a vibrant, inclusive hub, now stands divided thanks to Khan's polarizing politics."
The petition adds: "A knighthood is an honour reserved for citizens who've contributed significantly to their communities or professions.
"It's a recognition of service that deserves the utmost respect, and as such, should not be bestowed on Sadiq Khan, who has failed to uphold his duty to our city and its inhabitants.

Mr Khan has worked for more than 20 years as a Labour politician.
He was the MP for Tooting before becoming Mayor of London in 2016 and winning a historic third term earlier this year.
A spokesperson for the London Mayor declined to comment.
