Reform UK is in second place in London, according to new polling. The research by Find Out Now puts Nigel Farage's party on 19% in the capital when it comes to who people would vote for in a general election.

Reform is 11 points behind Labour which takes the lead with 30%. The Tories are third with 17%, while the Lib Dems take 16% and the Greens 15%.

The poll of 1,102 Londoners also suggests that if a mayoral election was held, Reform would gain 17 points since May 2024, when Labour's Sadiq Khan won a record third term.

The right-wing insurgent party is on 20%, in joint second place with the Conservatives.

Meanwhile, Labour's vote share would fall by 11 points to 33%, according to the survey carried out earlier this month.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said: "This new London polling is strong for Reform and it's before we have even got going.

"Even in our least advanced region we are ahead of a dying Conservative Party."

Alex Wilson, Reform UK London Assembly Member, added: "This shows real momentum following Reform UK's seismic election results on 1st May. It proves that we are the real opposition to Labour not just across the country, but also here in London.

"People are fed up with broken promises and decades of stagnation, and want their capital and country saved."

It comes after Reform UK made major gains in the local elections earlier this month, winning hundreds of councillors and taking control of a number of town halls.

The party also gained a fifth MP in the Runcorn and Helsby by-election and won two mayoral contests.
