The 2026 local elections in London have resulted in significant losses for the Labour Party, traditionally dominant in the capital. The Green Party achieved major victories, with Zoë Garbett elected mayor of Hackney and gaining control of councils in Lewisham and Waltham Forest. Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, also made notable gains, taking control of Havering council and increasing its presence across London. Labour's grip has weakened, with nine councils now in no overall control, surpassing the previous record of eight set in 2006. Despite these losses, Labour retained control in key areas such as Hammersmith and Fulham and Ealing. The political landscape has shifted dramatically since the last elections in 2022, with younger voters increasingly favoring the Green Party. This election marks the largest set of local elections in England in three years, testing all political parties amidst changing voter sentiments.
