London local elections 2026: Live results map for every mayoralty and council

Results are trickling in after voters across London went to the polls on Thursday, with all 32 boroughs of the capital up for election.

Mayors of Tower Hamlets, Croydon, Newham, Hackney and Lewisham will also be elected today.

Here’s an overview of the results in London so far:

The capital has been seen as a Labor Party stronghold in recent years; The party held majority control in 21 councils. But in the four years since the 2022 London election, the political landscape has changed dramatically.

Sir Keir Starmer’s Labor Party’s popularity has waned since it came to power in 2024; Surveys of younger, more left-leaning voters suggest that this dynamic benefits the Green Party the most.

The party led by Zack Polanski hopes to increase its number of councilors in the capital, having only 49 seats heading into the elections. YouGov’s pre-election polling suggested this number could rise rapidly and Reform could take the highest share of the three councils. No party has ever won a London council poll before.

The results of the mayoral elections held so far are as follows:

Competitions were held in 136 local authorities across the country, including some of the largest cities and the whole of London. A mix of urban authorities and rural districts, as well as various provincial councils, also held elections.

Of the 5,013 seats contested this year, Labor is defending 2,557, the Conservatives are defending 1,362, the Liberal Democrats are defending 684 and other parties (including independents) are defending 410.
