Elections for Kensington and Chelsea London Borough Council were held on 22 May 2014. The United Kingdom element of the 2014 European Parliament election and other local elections took place on the same day.

In London council elections the entire council is elected every four years, opposed to some local elections where one councillor is elected every year for three of the four years.

Reduction in size of council

The Local Government Boundary Commission for England released its final recommendations for changes to the Royal Borough in September 2013, reducing the size of the council to 50 members.
