Now it's time for some sleep.
Goodbye!
After a night in which Labour turned Britain's map red, the reality is in London it strengthened an already dominant position.
With recent success in the mayoral election and dominance among most of the capital's councils, Labour now holds 59 of London's constituencies.
Most of its gains came at the expense of the Tories, turning eight previously blue seats red - with the caveat of boundary changes meaning it is not exactly like-for-like.
The Liberal Democrats have carved out a healthy base of support in the south-west corner of London, gaining three seats from the Conservatives in the process.
Despite its overall success, a headline grabbing result saw Jeremy Corbyn beat the party he once led to retain his Islington North seat.
As many polls predicted, the Conservatives have been pushed to the capital's edges, with the loss of the Cities and Westminster seat meaning it doesn't have a central London presence for the first time ever.
After six weeks' of campaigning and a night of counting, the electoral picture of London looks like:

David Lammy, who is Labour's shadow foreign secretary, saw his vote share drop by 20% in Tottenham.
He said he recognised that Israel's war on Gaza was a "huge concern" for many voters in his constituency.
At the overnight count, pro-Palestine campaigners supporting independent candidate Nandita Lal, who finished third, drowned out the end of Lammy’s victory speech, shouting “Tell us about genocide, David?” and “you’re a genocide apologist, Lammy”.
Lammy says: “I think that when we look at the results tonight, the Labour Party has done well across the country, they’ve done well in London, people have voted for change and they’ve voted for a range of issues.
“I do recognise of course there is huge concern at the loss of life in Gaza. Now, if we’re about to take power, we can play our role in bringing about a ceasefire, a ceasefire that we’ve now been calling for since the end of last year.”
However, while it did come up on the doorstep, Lammy says most people were concerned about the state of public services.

The final election count to wrap up in London goes down to razor thin margins.
Labour's David Pinto-Duschinsky took the seat from the Conservative candidate with a majority of just 15 votes.
The margin was so fine it required the ballot to be counted more than once to avoid any possible mistake.

Labour’s Rachel Blake won the seat by a majority of 2,708 votes, marking the first time the Conservatives have lost there in a general election since it was created in 1950.
In her victory speech as MP, Ms Blake said the result showed it was "time to move on".
She said: “Yesterday, people across the country had their say and we should never, ever take this for granted… A decision has been made and now it is time to move forward.
“I know many of you have voted Labour for the first time ever, voting Labour to remove the Conservatives from office.
"We’ve endured 14 years of Conservative-led government. They have presided over years of chaos and failing to implement even their own promises."
Promising to make housing reform a priority, Ms Blake said: "Homelessness is rising. Waiting lists are rising. Bills are going up and for too long, our country has been held back.”
Tory candidate Tim Barnes said he was not surprised by the result.
When asked if Rishi Sunak should resign as leader of the Conservative Party, he said it was "immaterial" and urged colleagues to take their time charting a way forward for the party.

Reporting from Islington North
Jeremy Corbyn, MP for Islington North since 1983, very nearly scooped up half of the vote here to win for the 11th time - but for the first time as an independent candidate as Labour’s Praful Nargund lost by more than 7,000 votes.
Amid the shifting political sands, Cameron and Georgie are escaping to Portugal for a beach holiday.
“On the one hand, I’m surprised,” Cameron says. “As an independent with first past the post, it was a bit of a long shot but Jeremy’s got a strong sway here. He’s loved here. Fair play to him.”
Georgie says she is “more disappointed” but also “not surprised.”
She added: “Corbyn’s team were out canvassing and had a lot of people knocking on doors. I’m not sure we had the same for Labour to be honest.”

After a night surrounded by politicos in the count centre, it wasn't long until I found some real world reaction after things had wrapped.
Ronnie, the very welcome taxi driver who is taking this sleepy reporter home, is the definition of a floating voter.
This time around he tells me he "voted Reform in protest".
"There are some good things they have pledged - custodial sentences for anyone with a knife for example - but it was mainly to protest because both of the main party are just so out of touch with working people and it makes me angry," he tells me.
Ronnie believes Labour have won "by default" because of how fed up people were with the Conservatives.
He isn't tied to any parties, having voted for all of the major parties at one point or another.
"I couldn’t bring myself to vote Tory this time - they have shown that they’re just for the rich," he says.
And with that, I'm off for a kip.

Wes Streeting was only 500 or so votes from losing his seat of Ilford North.
He could have lost to an independent called Leanne Mohamed who prioritised calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza as part of her campaign.
Leanne is from a Palestinian family and her campaign has resonated with voters - over 50% are from a South Asian background, 30% are Muslim in this constituency.
The turnout was down here, widely thought to be due to Labour voters not turning out.
Streeting said this had been the ugliest campaign he’d ever fought. As he made comments about Gaza, he was met by boos.
He also spoke about how a deepfake video of him put out over the weekend highlighted the need to get a grip of the damage this stuff is doing to our democracy
In Illford South, Jas Athwal won. In second place, again an independent, who had again resonated with voters on her stance on Gaza .
He spoke about a chance for Labour to change the country from local government all the way up.
Both men hugged and celebrated their victories and took pictures together. But how will these communities recover from what has been quite a divisive campaign, especially in Ilford North.

Hendon is having a recount because it’s so close here.
The word is the result won't be for another hour.
The seat is currently held by the Tories and is the final seat in London still to be declared.
A glum-looking minister for London lost his west London seat on the finest of margins.
Labour's Ben Coleman pipped Greg Hands to the post by just 152 votes.
It adds to a dire night of losses in the the capital for the Tories with just one seat left to declare - Hendon, which has a Conservative incumbent.

The Tories currently have nine seats in London.
Unless they win both Chelsea and Fulham and Uxbridge and South Ruislip it will be their worst showing in the capital.
In 1997 the party was down to 11 MPs based in London when Tony Blair won a landslide victory for Labour.

It's been a long night here at Brunel University where we have a third recount in Uxbridge and South Ruislip.

Westcroft Leisure centre was the location for two counts where the Lib Dem’s gained two seats from the Conservatives.
Bobby Dean, the new MP for Carshalton and Wallington, told me he was ready and excited for his new role and that St Helier hospital would be his priority locally.
The new MP for Sutton and Cheam, Luke Taylor, told me transport was a big issue for him and he’s committed to improving transport links to the area.
Both candidates told me they were looking forward to providing change and said it was clear that it was change that was what the public wanted.
