We are launching the first issue of our Westminster City Council Local Elections Analysis — a new series tracking the politics, policies, and priorities shaping the borough in the run-up to the 2026 elections.
Clear analysis of the political landscape, key issues, national trends, and what matters for business and development — a roadmap to the 2026 elections.
Westminster is one of the most politically significant and closely watched councils in the country. Labour’s historic 2022 victory ended decades of Conservative control, but by-election defeats in West End and Vincent Square, along with councillor defections, have cut its majority. The borough is now a true marginal, where a handful of wards could decide control in 2026.
Our first Westminster City Council local elections analysis explores this shifting landscape — from national headwinds and the rise of the share of multiple parties, to the Oxford Street Mayoral Development Corporation, crime, housing, and licensing. With the next administration set to review the City Plan, licensing policy, and define its approach to the MDC, this report is essential reading for developers, investors, and anyone with a stake in Westminster’s future.
