The Mayor has launched his transport vision.
Lots of big projects
List of potential schemes
Heavily expand Cycle hire scheme by another 2 km out from current boundaries, taking in Lewisham, Peckham, Brixton, Clapham, Chiswick, Camden, Islington and Hackney.
Finish Deep tube project, Northern line split.
Rebuild Bank and Holborn stations
Crossrail 2,
Construct a single Kings Cross/St Pancras Euston station complex.
Big Push into South London. with DLR to Bromley, Bakerloo into South East London and Victoria line to be extended (vague though as how far and I assume it could not open till after CR2 opended).
Sutton and Crystal Palace extensions for Tramlink.
Four track the West Anglia line.
Install additional crossrail stations as Woolwich and City airport.
Electrify Goblin line and extend to Barking Riverside.
The big surprise is promising to extend the Bakerloo and Victoria lines, all of this will take money and I assume a lot more tax raising powers for London.

Boris has a timeline of projects, published today, at:

There is also an interactive map:

I was drawn to the remarkable image for a new Thameslink station at Brent Cross:
