I have no problem with this story from the Evening Standard about polling for the Mayoral election. However, I came across it via the less-useless-than-expected Politics Home website.
Politics Home are linking to the story with the following headline:
Mayoral race could be decided on second preference votes
No fucking shit Politics Home. That is not news. In it's long and storied history (see posts labelled "Crackergate 2008" for more on the countless previous contests) the mayoral race has only ever been decided on second preference votes.

I'd be intrigued to see the fall-out if Red Ken wins by virtue of the second round (after failing to gain a plurality in the first).
I would particularly enjoy people complaining that they didn't understand the process and it's not democratic (despite the referendum on it).
However, my enjoyment of this would be tempered by Red Ken having won another term.
