Re-elect Anna Hopkins — Ward 9 City Councillor, London

London home
since 1985

Meet Anna

A neighbour who shows up — and gets things done.

Anna and her husband Bill came to London more than three decades ago to raise their family and build a business. They settled in Byron, where Anna became active in the community — volunteering on Home & School, soccer clubs, and a day-care building society, and serving for years on the board of the Urban League and the Lambeth and Byron community organizations.

Twenty-five years ago, Anna joined neighbours in the effort to Save Reservoir Hill from oversized development. Through that work she learned how the city really works — about planning, about heritage, and about the value of every councillor listening to residents. She has put that knowledge to work for Ward 9 ever since.

“Your community, your concerns matter. As your councillor I will do my homework, listen respectfully, and collaborate to get results.”

More Info

Better mobility

Better transit, safe cycling, responsible road projects and walking choices — so residents have the freedom to move around the city safely, at every age.

Responsible, balanced growth

Develop our city without needless sprawl — building up and inward, while protecting heritage, neighbourhoods, farmland and the environment.

Holding the line on taxes

Compact, smart development keeps costs down. Anna fights for value on every tax dollar and reliable services residents can count on.

An age-friendly city

More sidewalks, benches and bus shelters so people of every age can get around — and age in place close to the services and amenities they need.

Housing & homelessness

A variety of housing options across the city, and continued action on housing stability and reducing homelessness.

Accountability & transparency

Respect for residents, honest answers and open collaboration — doing the homework on the issues that affect your home and your street.

A track record for Ward 9

In their words

Voices for Anna

“Having served on city council with Anna, I know firsthand the depth of her commitment to our community. She is a public servant first and foremost. In every decision, Anna is thoughtful, pragmatic, and measured. She cares deeply about the work, listens to all sides, and approaches complex issues with a kind and reasonable mindset. She is exactly the steady, dedicated voice London needs.”
Virginia RidleyFormer London City Councillor

“I enthusiastically endorse Anna Hopkins for re-election as the City Councillor for Ward 9. Having known Anna personally since she first joined London City Council in 2014, I have experienced firsthand her deep commitment to Byron, West London, the rest of Ward 9, as well as the entire city. During her time serving on City Council, she has consistently been a pragmatic voice who bases her decisions on evidence and the genuine needs of her constituents.

Anna’s track record speaks for itself, as she works tirelessly to ensure that Ward 9 has a strong, balanced voice at City Council. She focuses on community concerns and needs and ensures residents’ concerns are heard before decisions are made at Council. She makes efforts to bridge the gap between conversations with her constituents and the decisions that are made at City Council.

As an active leader in the community, Anna understands the everyday realities that her constituents face. I know she will continue to advocate for a prosperous, affordable, and healthy London. I encourage my Ward 9 friends and all constituents to re-elect Anna Hopkins on Election Day, October 2026, so she can continue doing the hard work for your community and for London.”
Harold UsherCity Councillor, Ward 12 (2000–2018)

“I feel lucky to live in Ward 9 where Anna Hopkins has been our councillor for three consecutive terms. Obviously, I’m not the only one who appreciates her commitment to Londoners. She’s proven how she respects her constituents’ concerns by replying to all of my emails and phone calls, with not a cursory, ‘I’ll get back to you’, but with detailed information and follow-up when necessary. Anna listens. She does her due diligence and considers what would be best for Ward 9 and for London in general. Although she has many qualities I respect and enjoy, integrity is perhaps the one I find most valuable. She has shown time and time again how she remains accountable and transparent in both her actions and words. I wholeheartedly support Anna Hopkins for re-election.”
