Early indications suggest that Barnet residents have turned their backs on Labour in overwhelming numbers.
By 2pm today, only 20 per cent of the votes had been counted for Barnet and Camden, but Boris Johnson has polled almost twice as many votes as the incumbent Ken Livingstone in the race to become Mayor.
The vote for the London Assembly member, which will decide part of the composition of the Greater London Assembly using a proportional system, is equally resounding with the Conservatives gaining just short of double Labour's tally.
Brian Coleman, the GLA member for Barnet and Camden for the last eight years, is defeating his nearest opponent, Labour's Nicky Gavron, by a similar margin.
The Liberal Democrats are a distant third in all three counts, with the Green party close behind.
The counting of Barnet and Camden's vote is thought to be around two hours behind that for other constituencies.
However, if the votes continue to emerge in a similar pattern it seems that the wave of opinion against Labour in local elections across the country will be heavily reflected in Barnet.
