Speaking to the Italian newspaper la Repubblica, the Mayor of London outlined a roadmap for closer ties, including returning to both the customs union and the single market.
Sir Sadiq, who played a leading role in resisting the UK’s departure from the EU, now believes there is a route back to membership.
…
He highlighted Brexit’s detrimental impact, stating: “I see on a daily basis the damage Brexit has done to not just London, but to Londoners, the damage economically, socially and culturally.” Sir Sadiq was unequivocal: “I’m quite clear in terms of what needs to happen, which is, we should join the European Union.”
The mayor cited the election of US President Donald Trump, growing global instability, and the passage of time as reasons to revisit the issue, arguing “the facts have changed” and “the evidence has changed”. He insisted: “We should, as a Labour Party, fight the next general election with a clear manifesto commitment, a vote for Labour means we would rejoin the European Union. I think it’s inevitable.”

Yeah it was a fun experiment but please come back!
You gotta ditch the pound though.
It’s those kind of problems that makes me think it’s unlikely to happen.
Metrification alone practically caused a constitutional crisis.
If they EU was happy to “annul” brexit and pretend it never happened, there would be a realistic possibility. I doubt the EU would consider that however, as it would make leaving look easy.
Shouldn’t have left if you wanted to keep the early bird exceptions.
