Millions of voters across London went to the polls on July 4 to elect the new Government. The Standard looked at key battleground seats in the capital, and published an interactive map of the results. Here we turn the spotlight on:

BROMLEY AND BIGGIN HILL

Top five candidates (in alphabetical order):

Alan Cook - Reform UK (8,203 votes)

Peter Fortune - Conservatives (15,929 votes)

Julie Ireland - Liberal Democrats (4352 votes)

Oana Olaru-Holmes - Labour (15,627 votes)

Caroline Sandes - Green Party (2,583 votes)

Area: The constituency’s wards include Bickley , Biggin Hill, Bromley Common and Keston, Bromley Town, Darwin (part of), Hayes and Coney Hall, Plaistow, and Sundridge

I’m not sure if I’m in this constituency: Here’s how you can check

Boundary changes impact (Thrasher and Rallings analysis): Boundary changes make this new seat more of a Conservative one than the old Bromley and Chislehurst constituency. The Tories won the latter with 52.6 per cent of the vote in 2019, followed by Labour on 28.7 per cent, and the Lib Dems 14.5 per cent. The new seat would have been 54.5 per cent Conservative, 25.1 per cent Labour and 16 per cent Lib Dem.
