Local government elections were held in the thirty-two London boroughs on Thursday 9 May 1968.

The result was a landslide for the Conservative Party,[1] who won twenty-eight of the boroughs, while Labour lost control of seventeen of the twenty boroughs it had held going into the elections (including Bexley, where it did not win a single seat).

Only ten Liberal councillors were elected in London.

[2] The result followed the Conservative gain of the Greater London Council in the elections the previous year.

This only affected political control in Newham, which remained Labour-held after the election of aldermen.
