Various political parties and organisations hold elected representation in the thirty-two London borough councils. This list includes the parties of the 1,851 borough councillors, but excludes the City of London Corporation as its elections are nominally fought in a nonpartisan system. Councillors were elected most recently in the 2022 London local elections,[1] whereas the London Assembly was elected in the 2024 London Assembly election and MPs were elected in the 2024 general election.
