<\/p>\nReform UK are set to make major gains in several London boroughs, with one expert giving his take on exactly where Nigel Farage can target in the capital.<\/p>\n
Despite popularity for Reform being lower in London than the rest of the UK, a higher share of voters said they would consider voting for Reform in the future, according to new polling.<\/p>\n
The recently formed party has seen significant gains in the capital, with Alex Wilson being elected as its first London Assembly member in May last year.<\/p>\n
The party’s continued surge resulted in Kent County Council, located not far from London, turning from a longtime blue to turquoise.<\/p>\n

Across Britain, Nigel Farage’s Reform had the third-highest vote share in the country at the 2024 election, gaining half a million more votes than the Liberal Democrats.<\/p>\n
Polling indicates that support for the political movement, which stood at 14 per cent at the General Election, is continuing to surge.<\/p>\n
London politics expert Prof Tony Travers told the Politics London programme that the party “could do very well indeed in some of the outer London boroughs, particularly I would say those that voted Leave in the Brexit referendum, so Barking and Dagenham, Havering, Bexley, Hillingdon, even Sutton”.<\/p>\n
He added: “Those are the places I think they could well do a lot of damage to the incumbent parties.”<\/p>\n

Barking & Dagenham<\/p>\n
Barking & Dagenham is divided into two constituencies with each Reform coming in second place in both.<\/p>\n
Labour backbencher Nesil Caliskan secured the Barking seat in the 2024 election, defeating the Reform candidate by over 30 per cent of the vote.<\/p>\n
Despite the large margin, support for the MP plummeted 16 per cent whilst the share change for the turquoise party soared over seven per cent.<\/p>\n
While a gap of over 10,000 votes separates the rival parties, Reforms’ growing momentum makes the constituency a top target for Farage and his party.<\/p>\n
The result was similarly reflected in the Dagenham and Rainham seat where Labour’s Margaret Mullane defeated Reform’s Kevin Godfrey by 18 per cent of the vote. <\/p>\n
