Londoners who backed staying in the EU coped in time-honoured fashion - by flocking to the capital's pub.
Leave campaigners celebrated as 52 per cent of Britain's voters backed Brexit.
But the results in the capital showed that Londoners were overwhelmingly in favour of remaining in the EU with with 2,263,519 votes compared to only 1,513,232 backing Brexit.
More than 100,000 people signed a petition calling for London to declare independence from the UK to stay in the EU, while others suggested the capital should form a new nation with Scotland.
But most chose to discuss London's future at the pub.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has moved to reassure Londoners that the city would continue to prosper outside of the EU following the brexit vote.
He said: "Londoners should know that over the coming weeks, months and years, I will work with the Government and businesses in our city to ensure London continues to be the best place in the world for business, creativity and innovation - and that London continues to be a great city in which to live, work and raise a family
