Votes have been counted for Lambeth Council results throughout Friday (May 8), with all 63 seats on the council up for grabs. Before the 2026 election, the South London borough council was run by Labour, which held a very strong majority of 54 seats. Each ward is represented by either two or three councillors.
Wards in the Election
Lambeth wards up for grabs include Brixton Acre Lane, Brixton North, Brixton Rush Common, Brixton Windrush, Clapham Common and Abbeville, Clapham East, Clapham Park, Clapham Town, Gipsy Hill, Herne Hill and Loughborough Junction, Kennington, Knight's Hill, Myatt's Fields, Oval, St Martin's, Stockwell East, Stockwell West and Larkhall, Streatham Common and Vale, Streatham Hill East, Streatham Hill West and Thornton, Streatham St Leonard's, Streatham Wells, Vauxhall, Waterloo and South Bank, and West Dulwich.
Previous Election Results
During the last local election in Lambeth in 2022, 58 Labour councillors were elected, while the Lib Dems won three seats and the Greens won two. Since then, the Greens gained two more councillors after winning a by-election in May 2025 and after a suspended Labour councillor went on to join the Greens. Another councillor who was suspended by Labour now sits as an independent, while another Labour councillor defected to the Lib Dems in November 2025.
Expert Analysis
Professor Tony Travers, of the London School of Economics, said it was possible that Labour could lose overall control at the local elections - though he said it was "hard to imagine" them not being the biggest party. He told the BBC: "Lambeth is currently strongly Labour-held, but with threats from the Liberal Democrats in some parts of the borough, particularly for example Oval, but elsewhere the Greens are likely to win seats from Labour as well."
According to the latest polls from More in Common, Lambeth is one of several inner-London boroughs which could see a "two-way fight" between Labour and the Greens. Below you can see the full results for every seat up for election in Lambeth. You can select your ward from the drop-down list.
