Results by Borough in 1990.

Local government elections took place in London, and some other parts of the United Kingdom on Thursday 3 May 1990.

All London borough council seats were up for election. The previous Borough elections in London were in 1986.

The elections saw a poor result for the recently formed Liberal Democrats, with the party losing 10% of its vote and 20 council seats. This decline was accompanied by success for the Conservatives, who gained 46 councillors and 1 council, while Labour lost 32 council seats and 1 council.

The local elections also saw a surge in support for the Green Party, which had won 15% of the vote in the European Elections the previous year. Despite winning 6% of the London-wide vote, the party failed to win a single council seat. The 1990 result was the best popular vote result in the party's history, and the party would not exceed this result for another 16 years.
