The UK woke today to a Labour government for the first time in 14 years, following a historic landslide defeat for the Conservative Party.

And that national picture was reflected across the capital, as Labour took 59 of the 75 available seats, with the Tories winning just nine.

It was also a good night for the Liberal Democrats, who doubled their seat tally in London to jump to six seats, as part of a wider national rise.

For more on all the big stories from the general election, both in London and beyond, read our e-edition below.
