The ward is a very safe Labour seat, and stayed Labour even during the years when Islington Council was won by the Liberal Democrats. As of 2022, the councillors are Mick Gilgunn, Anjna Khurana and Flora Williamson.{{cite web|url=https://democracy.islington.gov.uk/mgFindMember.aspx?XXR=0&AC=WARD&WID=13063&|title=Tollington ward councillors|publisher=Islington LBC|access-date=16 January 2022|archive-date=16 January 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220116173725/https://democracy.islington.gov.uk/mgFindMember.aspx?XXR=0&AC=WARD&WID=13063&|url-status=live}}
Background
The ward is named after the only other place in the historic parish of Islington mentioned as a separate manor in the Domesday Book, in the old form Tolentone. The manor house was located beside present day Hornsey Road (known as Tollington Lane as late as 1740) and was purchased in 1271 by the priory of St John at Clerkenwell after which the manor's name fell into disuse.{{cite book|last=Thornbury|first=Walter|title=Old and New London|year=1878|location=Chapter XXXIV|pages=273–9}}
