Background

Labour, the Conservatives and the SDP Liberal Alliance all fielded a full slate of 50 candidates. On the ballot paper the third-party candidates were listed alternatively as 'SDP-Liberal Alliance' and 'Liberal Alliance-SDP'.

The Humanist Party ran seven candidates - two each in Gibbs Green, Normand and Avonmore wards and a further one in Margravine. Across London the party ran a further 11 candidates at this election - averaging 43 votes per candidate.

The Green Party ran a single candidate in six wards - Colehill, Crabtree, Palace, Sherbrooke, Town, White City & Shepherds Bush. At the previous election the Ecology Party had fielded four candidates in different wards. Across London at this election the Green Party ran a further 161 candidates.

Four candidates listed themselves under the 'Village Independent' banner - two each in Addison and Brook Green wards.

The Revolutionary Communist Party ran a single candidate - in White City & Shepherds Bush ward. Across London they ran a further 10 candidates - averaging 68 votes per person.

No candidates listed themselves as representing the Residents Association - down from seven at the previous election.

The Workers Revolutionary Party didn't field any candidates - down from two at the previous election.

The National Front didn't field any candidates - down from two at the previous election.

A total of 168 candidates put themselves forward for the 50 available seats - a decrease from the 175 candidates who contested the previous election.

Election result

The Labour Party won 40 seats - a gain of 15 seats from the 1982 result, and took control of the council. The Conservative Party won 9 seats - a loss of 14 seats from their 1982 result.

The SDP Liberal Alliance retained 1 seat and lost 1 seat. This was the seventh and final election for the Liberal candidate Simon Knott - and his fourth victory. He also stood as a candidate for the House of Commons four times for the Barons Court constituency, three times for the Hammersmith North constituency and twice for the Hammersmith constituency, without success.
