  1. A tale of two Harrows

    I’m in Harrow tonight where two seats are up for grabs – Harrow East and Harrow West.

    Harrow West has been held by Gareth Thomas since Blair became Labour’s last election-winning prime minister in 1997 and it’s looking like he’ll hang on to that seat.

    The other constituency here – Harrow East – is what’s got journalists in the media area talking – It’s where Bob Blackman has been the Conservative MP since 2010 but tonight things could change.

    Prior to this election the Tories only had a third of London’s seats and if we’re to believe what the polls are telling us, that fraction could diminish even further but as the Conservatives who’ve been interviewed on the BBC tonight tell us, it’s not over until all the votes have been counted.

    The atmosphere at Harrow Leisure Centre is a vibrant one – candidates from across the spectrum of parties are wandering around chatting to people and hoping they’ll be the lucky one to claim the seat they’ve campaigned for.

    Amongst the crowd, Susan Hall, the woman who ran against Sadiq Khan in the battle to become mayor of London earlier this year. Hall is a local councillor in Harrow and lives in the borough – she’s come out tonight wearing all blue to support Bob Blackman in Harrow East and Abbas Merali in Harrow West.

    She tells me she’s been busy since the mayoral elections helping campaign for her colleagues standing here in this election – she also tells me she thinks Mr Blackman will win.

  2. London's key battleground seats

    With the exit poll predicting a Labour landslide nationally, it's almost certain that the party's electorial domination of the capital will continue.

    There are certain seats that could go down to the wire, including marginal seats in Barnet and contests where independents may have split the Labour vote - most notably Jeremy Corbyn's flight to retain his seat against his former party's candidate.

    At the end of the last Parliament, Labour held two-thirds of the capital's 73 MPs, controls two-thirds of its 33 councils and saw Sadiq Khan returned as mayor for a historic third term in May.

    The Conservatives held 20 seats and they went into this campaign facing a stiff challenge in many of them.

    These seats aren't just vulnerable to Labour gains - the Liberal Democrats have campaigned hard in south-west London with hopes of picking off Tory incumbents.

    Thanks to boundary changes, the capital now has 75 seats up for grabs.

  3. What happened in 2019?

    At the 2019 general election, Labour won 49 seats in the capital, with the Conservatives picking up 21 and the Lib Dems 3.

    There were 73 seats back then but boundary changes this year mean London will end up with 75 MPs.

    As well as an additional two seats, many constituencies have changed and a number have new names.

  4. First London declaration awaited

    The first declarations have already been announced elsewhere in the country.

    In London we’re expecting results from about 02:00, with seats likely being declared until around 06:30.
