1994 Southwark London Borough Council election

Background

In the years between this election an the previous one there was only one by-election called to replace a councillor who had died, which resulted in the seat changing hands from the Labour Party to the Liberal Democrats. In addition, 2 Labour councillors became either members of third parties or independents and 1 seat held by the Liberal Democrats became vacant without enough time before the next election to hold a separate by-election. This meant the composition of the council just before the election was as follows:

Election result

|seats % = 53.1 |votes % = 47.01 |plus/minus = |seats % = 42.2 |votes % = 39.78 |plus/minus = |seats % = 4.7 |votes % = 12.51 |plus/minus = |seats % = 0.00 |votes % = 0.25 |plus/minus =
