Cities appeal for many reasons - a thriving nightlife, a kaleidoscope of culture and the higher salaries.

But London Mayor Boris Johnson has claimed crowds of men flock to the capital because there are a 'greater range of girls of reproductive choice' found occupying London's bars and nightclubs.

The Mayor, who has cheated on two wives including his current other half Marina, says men are drawn to the high numbers of women in urban areas.

In a searingly honest interview, Mr Johnson said he was motivated by fame and that he wants to assume 'supreme power in England' despite admitting recently that he is more likely to be 'decapitated by a frisbee' than succeed Mr Cameron as Prime Minister.

He said: 'We seek cities because there are a greater range of girls at the bar, of reproductive choice.

'But above all, talented people seek cities for fame. They can't get famous in the f****** village'.

In his most glaring statement of intent so far, Mr Johnson said he wants to become Prime Minister so that he can build a new airport in the South-East.

The former MP has irritated Mr Cameron’s aides with hints that he would do a better job than his Eton and Oxford contemporary.

But in recent months he has stressed that he would serve a second full term as mayor, claiming that he is more likely to be ‘reincarnated as an olive’ than to succeed Mr Cameron.

His latest comments come on a tour of New York, the city of his birth, to promote his new book Johnson’s Life Of London: The People Who Made The City That Made The World.

Mr Johnson – a firm advocate of an island airport on the Thames – told New York Magazine: 'London is the most commercially important city in Europe, and it’s the most populous city.

'It should be for the whole of the European continent what New York is to America. That’s what it should be. And in many ways it is.

‘We have to have a new airport.One of the only reasons I want to assume supreme power in England is to make sure that happens.’

He then added: 'For God’s sake, don’t quote me saying that.'

A Downing Street spokesman confirmed that an ‘aviation strategy’ would be published in autumn.

A Tory MP described Mr Johnson’s admission as ‘a refreshing blast of honesty and self-awareness’, adding: ‘It is a collector’s item.’
