Khan or Goldsmith? London mapped by first preference vote share

Labour increased its support in the north and west of the city, compared with the 2012 election, and managed to take a larger share of the vote than the Conservatives in the City of London.

Khan's highest share of the vote - 76.9% - was in Little Ilford, Newham. His lowest levels of support were in Knightsbridge and Belgravia at 12.6% - which coincidentally saw the highest share for Zac Goldsmith at 76.0%.

Where was turnout highest?

Overall voter turnout was higher at this election than in 2012, with 45.3% of people turning out to vote. There were just two neighbourhoods that bucked the trend, both in Lambeth: Bishop's ward, where turnout fell by 4.9 percentage points, and Coldharbour, where it slipped by 1.6.

People turned out to vote in greater numbers in those parts of London that tended to favour the Conservative candidate: the northern and southern edges of the city.

At 62.0% and 59.3%, turnout was highest of all in East Sheen and Kew - two wards where Mr Goldsmith thrashed Mr Khan.

But the ward with the third-highest turnout in London, Dulwich Village, was a better bellwether for the overall result: Mr Khan overturned a majority for Boris Johnson at the last election in 2012.

The ward with the lowest proportion of people voting was Fieldway in Croydon, at 26.6%. This was up on 23.7% in 2012.
