In London council elections the entire council is elected every four years, as opposed to the local elections ‘by thirds’ in some areas of England, in which a third of the councillors are elected every year for three years and then no election is held in the fourth year.

The Conservatives retained control of the council, and all wards continued with the same party representation as at the previous borough election in 2006.

Labour did win back the Church Street seat they had lost to the Conservatives at a 2008 by-election, but the Results chart below shows, correctly, that there were no seat gains or losses for any Party at this election compared to the previous Westminster Council election of 2006.
