2026 local elections in London

Mapping London’s local election results

Local elections can be difficult to map clearly. Looking at individual wards can sometimes be too granular, while borough-wide results can obscure important local variations.

To provide a clearer picture, we have aggregated the results at Westminster constituency level. This allows you to see how local election voting patterns overlap with parliamentary constituency boundaries across London.

This should not be treated as a projection of how constituencies would vote at a general election. Instead, it is intended to show how local election results at ward level translate across Westminster constituencies.

The map below shows the results of the 2026 local elections declared so far and the 2022 local election results as a benchmark comparison. You can switch between the two using the dropdown menu.

The pop-ups for each constituency show the indicative leading party and majority based on aggregated vote share, comparisons between 2026 and 2022 and the vote share changes for each party since 2022.

Methodology

Because local elections operate differently from parliamentary elections, several adjustments have been made in compiling these figures.

At ward level, we calculated the average vote share received by each party rather than simply totalling the votes of all candidates. This avoids distortions where some parties stand fewer candidates than others in multi-member wards.

These ward-level figures were then aggregated to Westminster constituency level.

In some cases, ward boundaries have changed since the current Westminster constituencies were drawn. Where this occurs, wards have been matched to the closest fitting constituency boundary.

What the results show so far

With results still to come from Lewisham, Tower Hamlets and Newham, the current map shows:

  • Labour leading in 23 constituencies (25% of the vote so far, -17%)
  • Conservatives leading in 22 constituencies (22%, -6%)
  • Greens leading in 10 constituencies (22%, +10%)
  • Liberal Democrats leading in 8 constituencies (13%, -2%)
  • Reform UK leading in 5 constituencies (14%, +14%)

The results so far suggest Labour has lost significant ground across parts of London.

For example, in Tottenham, the equivalent 2022 local election results would have given Labour an estimated lead of 47% over the Greens. Based on the results declared so far in 2026, the Greens now hold an indicative lead of around 12% over Labour, representing a swing of almost 30% from Labour to the Greens.

However, Labour has continued to perform relatively strongly in parts of London, including areas such as Redbridge, Mitcham and Morden, and Tooting.

The Conservatives have also made gains. They currently lead in all constituency areas across Barnet and Enfield, four seats in north west London (including Brent West, which the party has not won at a general election since 1992) as well as five seats in central London and six seats in south east London.

The Liberal Democrats now lead in seven constituencies, including their traditional south west London strongholds, while also moving ahead in Ealing Central and Acton and Bermondsey and Old Southwark.

The Greens have performed strongly across inner south and north east London. Their lead is currently in double digits in at least three constituencies: Tottenham, Hackney North and Stoke Newington, and Hackney South and Shoreditch.
