Desmond Plummer Conservative Reg Goodwin Labour The fourth election to the Greater London Council (GLC) was held on 12 April 1973.

As there had been a boundary commission report with new Parliamentary constituencies which coincided with the border of Greater London, the electoral system was changed (as had always been intended) so that the GLC was elected from single member electoral divisions which were identical with the Parliamentary constituencies.

The former Conservative member Billie Morgan regained the seat she had narrowly lost in Croydon North East on 5 September 1974.

Labour retained seats in Greenwich on 24 October 1974 and Dagenham on 30 January 1975 caused by the deaths of sitting councillors.
