Sadiq Khan's globe-trotting £132,000-a-year London 'night czar' Amy Lamé quits with mayor's thanks ringing in her ears......
Kharnage's £132,000-a-year London 'night czar' Amy Lamé has quit after nearly eight years in the job.
The comedian will stand down from her role at City Hall at the end of this month, saying it was the 'right time to move on'.
However, it comes after the night czar job, created by Mr Khan in 2016, sparked anger from critics.
Earlier this year, Ms Lamé insisted she was worth her six-figure salary despite receiving backlash over City Hall-funded trips to Australia, Italy and Spain.
Industry experts also previously questioned whether she was 'value for money' after figures showed London's nightlife was falling behind cities such as Liverpool and Birmingham.
Nevertheless, Ms Lamé will walk out with the Mayor of London's thanks ringing in her ears.
