All seats were up for election. The result was a landslide for the Conservative Party, [1] who won twenty-eight of the boroughs, while Labour lost control of seventeen of the twenty boroughs it had held going into the elections (including Bexley, where it did not win a single seat). Only ten Liberal councillors were elected in London. [2]
The result followed the Conservative gain of the Greater London Council in the elections the previous year.
