The Tory hopeful said concerns about a suicide bombing on the London Underground or the capital’s trains and buses had “gone through the roof” in the wake of the Paris and Brussels attacks.
“Each and every one of us” faces an increased threat of being caught up in a fresh terror attack as Islamic State (ISIS) fighters plot their next strike on a European capital, he said.
Tapping into voters fears over the threat of a copy-cat attack by ISIS fighters, Mr Goldsmith said he would fund an extra 500 police for the Tube network by stripping away perks from transport staff.
The Conservative MP for Richmond said: “We know that the threat has grown.
“We know that anxiety levels have gone through the roof when it comes to the threat of terror, particularly the use of our public transport system.
“We all know that there are those who wish London harm, that we are, in this city, a prime target – each and every one of us.”
