The final seats are still being declared but Labour have won enough seats to retain Haringey.

Newly elected Rohksana Fiaz says she intends to hold a referendum during her four-year term.

Results are still being declared but Hackney have retained control of the council having so fr won 29 of 57 available.

The council was won by Labour in 2014.

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said he believed there were lots of Jewish voters in London "who don’t feel comfortable voting Labour".

He told BBC News: "That can’t be right that anybody feels that our party is a safe place for someone that is an anti-Semitic person.

"Anti-Semiitism is racism. We should have no truck with that and we have to make sure we investigate any allegations against anybody."

He praised Jeremy Corbyn for tasking Labour's general secretary, Jennie Formby, with investigating all allegations "speedily".

He echoed other Labour figures in stressing it was Labour's best results in London since 1971 and said Jeremy Corbyn was the right man to take party forward to the next general election.

Another unsurprising result as Islington Council - home to Jeremy Corbyn's London constituency - stays red.

The party won almost all the seats - with just one going to the Green Party.

• Hackney
• Haringey
• Harrow
• Hounslow
• Lambeth
• Lewisham
• Newham
• Kingston-upon-Thames
• Tower Hamlets

How did the parties fair and has the political make-up of London changed?

Prof John Curtice looks at what the local election results mean for the state of the parties.

Some seats are still to be declared but the Conservatives have retained the borough.

Results are still being declared in Islington but Labour have won enough seats to retain the council.

The returning Leader of Wandsworth Ravi Govindia has said his party's victory one "my colleagues will be proud to relish".

Mr Govinda said the Conservatives had won because the local "brand is so strong".

He said: "It’s about saying this is where we have attention to detail.

"This is not about making grandiose statements."

Labour had "wasted an awful lot of effort and manpower," he said.

"They should reflect on a loss for them."

Prof John Curtice says the BBC's key ward results continue to show marked differences in the pattern of performance between constituencies with a young and an older age profile.

Labour's vote is up on average by as much as 11 points in wards where more than 35% of voters are aged between 18 and 34, but is up by just four points where the proportion of younger voters is less than 20%.

Conversely, the Conservative vote is up by eight points on average in wards where there are relatively few younger voters, but is down by a point in those wards where there are more younger voters.

"These results appear to provide further proof of the growing age divide in Conservative and Labour support," he said.

• Philip Glanville (Lab) 42,645 (65.93%, +5.55%)
• Imtiyaz Lunat (C) 7,183 (11.10%, -0.50%)
• Alastair Binnie-Lubbock (Green) 6,774 (10.47%, -7.04%)
• Pauline Pearce (LD) 4,846 (7.49%, +1.82%)
• Harini Iyengar (Women) 2,659 (4.11%)
• Vernon Williams (Ind) 577 (0.89%, +0.89%)

Turnout: 36%

Labour strengthened their majority in Redbridge in the local elections, gaining 15 seats.

Councillor Jas Athwal's group won a formidable 51 seats, to the Conservatives' 12 and the Labour group leader retained his position.

Mr Athwal said: "I met Jeremy Corbyn last week. I told him, come down to Redbridge, we're going to win big. He looked at me as if to say, are you sure? I will definitely invite him down now.

"We've got to reflect. We've spent four years managing finances, now we need to spend four years delivering for residents."

However, it wasn't all good news for Labour with some seats incredibly close and hard fought.

Councillor Lloyd Duddridge missed out on a seat in Bridge ward by a fractional 11 votes which Mr Athwal said felt like "a defeat."

The voting was similarly close in Churchfield ward, resulting in another shock departure as Liberal Democrat group leader Councillor Gwyneth Deakins also lost her seat.
