The United Kingdom goes to the polls in what is one of the most decisive and critical elections for decades and after a long and often divisive campaign.

Whether it’s Brexit, the environment, or the NHS this election will mark the beginning of an important period for this country. It may or may not solve the crisis over Brexit which has convulsed politicians and the public for the past three years.

And we will be keeping you up to date with events across London and the national picture. And you can also follow us on Twitter here https://twitter.com/eastlondonlines.

Finally Croydon; whilst North may generally be Labour, and South Conservative, Central Croydon may well play an important part in this election. What will happen if the Remain vote is split?

Politicians have been out and about in our boroughs in a final push to get people to vote:
