The Liberal Party ran 19 candidates across seven wards - an increase on the seven candidates across three wards which they ran in 1971. In an era when candidates could choose their party designation without reference to an officially registered entity - two candidates in the Avonmore ward ran under the 'Powellite Conservative' banner. These were the only candidates across the whole of the London local elections to use this designation. Whilst 125 people across London stood as Communist Party candidates - there was just one in Hammersmith. Mr J Gould stood again in the White City ward. Across London 72 people stood under the 'Save London Action Group' banner - but in Hammersmith there was a single such candidate, in the Crabtree ward. Two independent candidates stood for election - one each in Crabtree ward and St Stephen's ward. A total of 145 candidates put themselves forward for the 60 seats. Election result The Labour Party won 48 seats - a loss of 10 seats from the previous election, but remained firmly in control. The Conservative Party won 10 seats - a gain of 8 seats from their previous result. The Liberal Party won 2 seats - a gain of two from the last election, and the first time that any party other than Labour and the Conservatives won a seat on this council. One of the newly elected Liberal councillors (Simon Knott) previously stood as a candidate at all three elections for the same ward.London Borough Council Elections 5 May 1994 https://londondatastore-upload.s3.amazonaws.com/docs/LBCE_1994-5-5.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20150402092139/https://londondatastore-upload.s3.amazonaws.com/docs/LBCE_1994-5-5.pdf dead 2 April 2015 London Datastore London Research CentreLondon Borough Council Elections 2 May 1974 https://londondatastore-upload.s3.amazonaws.com/docs/LBCE_1974-5-2.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20150226024342/https://londondatastore-upload.s3.amazonaws.com/docs/LBCE_1974-5-2.pdf dead 26 February 2015 London Datastore London County Council Ward results Addison Addison (3) Labour Party (UK) Hammond, Mrs C.
