Overall results

Labour consolidated control of the council by gaining 9 seats (in addition to the 11 they gained in 2014), winning 35 in all. The Conservatives lost 9 seats, winning 11 in all. This was the lowest number of Conservative councillors since 1986. There were no wards with split party representation – for only the fourth time in the fifteen elections since the council was created in 1968. The previous occasions when this occurred was 1990, 1978 and the 1971 Labour landslide. Another sign of the increased homogeneity was the number of wards where the winning party got less than 50% of the vote – just three wards this time.

with 39%. 26 Councillors successfully retained their seats – 20 Labour and 6 Conservative. 5 sitting Councillors were defeated – all Conservative, including the previous opposition leader. The ward with the highest percentage vote for one party was Wormholt and White City which saw a 76.5% vote share for the Labour Party. This is the highest percentage any party has achieved at the five elections since these wards were established in 2002. Vote share percentages by ward for previous elections are not currently available. The largest percentage change was in the Shepherds Bush Green ward, where the Labour Party increased its vote share by 20.9 percentage points – as the Green Party did not stand a candidate this time round. The largest percentage decrease was in the Fulham Reach ward where the Conservative vote dropped by 14.6 percentage points. The candidate with the largest individual tally was Lisa Homan with 2,577 votes in the Askew ward. This veteran councillor has been elected on all but one occasion since 1994 – losing out in 2002 by 44 votes. One of the successful Conservative candidates in Palace Riverside had been deselected from the same ward in 2006, and had run as an independent candidate – coming within 146 votes of winning at that election.

The Green Party fielded 2 candidates – in 2014 they had 7 candidates. There was 1 Independent candidate – the same number as in 2014, although a different individual.

TUSC did not stand any candidates in the 2018 local elections – they had two candidates in Hammersmith and Fulham in 2014. National Health Action Party did not field candidates in the 2018 local elections – they had a single candidate in Hammersmith and Fulham in 2014.
