The ride-hailing firm's licence was due to expire on Wednesday, but it has been extended temporarily.
In London, TfL rejected Uber's licence renewal request in 2017, due to failings in the firm's approach to reporting serious criminal offences and driver background checks.
He added:"Over the past two years, we've launched a range of new safety features in the app, introduced better protections for drivers and our clean air plan is helping to tackle air pollution."About 45,000 drivers work for Uber in London, and if its request for a five-year licence is rejected all of them risk losing their jobs.
Regional officer Steve Garelick said:"A two month licence extension is no good for anyone - it leaves uncertainty for drivers and passengers, meanwhile Uber still operates an unsafe model on the streets of London. Last year, a judge granted Uber a probationary 15-month licence to operate in London after the firm said it had made changes to its business model.
