Rubbish weighing the equivalent of ten double Decker buses was collected during a blitz on London litter.
The Capital Clean-Up Campaign, which began in March and ran for 100 days, has been hailed a success.
More than 300 events to rid the streets of rubbish litter and graffiti took place across the city with thousands of people taking part.
The amount of litter, rubbish and grime collected amounted to close to 80 tonnes - the weight of around ten London buses.
London is going for gold in trying to become the cleanest city on earth by the time the 2012 Olympics arrive in town.
The annual Capital Clean-Up initiative is backed by London local authorities and organisations ranging from Love London, Metropolitan Police and Keep Britain Tidy.
Rachel Bailey, chair of Capital Clean-Up , said: "We were so pleased that so many people from across the capital got involved. On average we had three clean-ups taking place every single day.
"We achieved a lot in such a short period of time. The aim is to raise standards for 2012 and make real improvements in communities in all boroughs across the capital."
Attention now turns to September when a nationwide "Big Tidy Up" will get underway. Organised by Keep Britain Tidy, thousands of clean-up events will take place across London and the rest of the country.
Three hundred clean-up events took place over the last 100 days and here are just a handful of the success stories:
