According to The Standard, residents in Kingston and Croydon will again pay the biggest council tax bills in London, with average demands of almost £2,500 a year.

All 33 of London's boroughs have revealed how much their council tax bills will rise from April.

Lib-Dem run Kingston is found to be London's most expensive borough by increasing its total band D bill from £2,374 to £2,488.

The Standard writes: "This 4.99 per cent hike includes a £95.01 increase in the council's share of bills and an extra £18.98 for mayor of London Sir Sadiq Khan."

The paper found that Croydon will remain as the second most expensive borough.

Most London councils are expected to seek a near five per cent increase, according to draft budget planning documents.
