Last week Labour took over Westminster Council in its first victory here since the local authority was created.
In an extraordinary result, the Conservatives saw a net loss of 18 seats, while 13 turned red.
Despite the dramatic recolouring of the ward map, the Tories’ overall vote share was down only by 0.8%, while Labour’s rose by 5% to 47.9%.
Meanwhile the Liberal Democrats failed to gain a seat, with their best result placing second in Marylebone ward.
Last Thursday’s election took place under new boundaries, with six less seats overall being contested, including three newly created wards.
Here are the results in full:
