General Election London: When will we know the result in my constituency as night of drama unfolds?

Transcript

00:00So, ready for General Election Night?

00:03Here's a very rough guide to how things may unfold in London.

00:07So, set your alarm for 1.30am in the morning.

00:12That's when the first declarations in London are expected to come in.

00:16That's Putney and Tooting.

00:19Both of them are safe Labour seats, so no great excitement there.

00:243am, that is when the drama may really start

00:28because we're expecting the results then for Islington North and Chelsea and Fulham.

00:34In Islington North, can Jeremy Corbyn, the former leader of the Labour Party,

00:40now standing as an independent, beat the official Labour candidate?

00:45In Chelsea and Fulham, can London Minister Greg Hands hang on there?

00:51And if he can't, that may spell the end of any Tories left in inner London.

00:57Now, 3.30am in the morning, the King may have wanted to set his alarm for this time

01:03because we may learn then whether Buckingham Palace will be in a Labour constituency

01:09for the first time ever if the cities of London and Westminster goes red.

01:14At 3.45am, it will be Lib Dem nirvana or tragedy time

01:20because at this time in the morning, Sir Ed Davies' party should learn

01:25that it has won its three target seats in South West London.

01:29That is Wimbledon, Sutton and Cheam and Carshalton and Wallington.

01:344.30am and the champagne corks should be popping in Hampstead and Highgate.

01:40This is the constituency of the champagne socialists and again, Labour expected to win here.

01:47But the fizz may go out of the Tory bubbly in Kensington and Bayswater

01:52if they lose in that West London seat.

01:555am and it's Diane Abbott o'clock.

01:58There, the Labour veteran is set to win in Hackney North and Stoke Newington

02:04despite efforts by Labour Party chiefs for it to bar her from standing.

02:10And 6.30am, if you're still awake, it's almost over in London

02:15because by then, Shadow Health Secretary Wes Streeting

02:18should be one of the last results to come in in Ilford North where he is also expected to win.
