They lost to Conservatives, Liberal Democrats and Greens. Greens were elected for the first time and gained 9 councillors. Conservatives and Liberal Democrats both increased their number of councillors.

Ketan Sheth (Chair of Scrutiny, Community and Wellbeing) in Wembley Central.
Greens took all 3 seats in from Labour in Kilburn and Lib Dems from Labour in in Queen's Park. Greens won both Northwick Park seats with veteran ex-Labour councillor and cabinet member, Keith Perrin, one of the victors. Reform and independents won no seats, though the latter achieved some substantial votes.
Only two of the five Labour councillors who defected to the Greens won their seats although the results were close apart from a large personal vote for current Mayour Ryan Hack in Brondesbury Park.
