Philip Glanville is a British Labour and Co-operative politician who served as the directly elected mayor of Hackney in London.




Hackney councillor


Philip Glanville was elected as a councillor for the Hackney London Borough Council ward of Hoxton at the 2006 election. He was re-elected in 2010. At the 2014 election he was elected from the new Hoxton West ward. He spent three years as cabinet member for housing before briefly becoming deputy mayor in 2016.




Mayor of Hackney


Glanville was elected Mayor of Hackney in a by-election held on 15 September 2016, becoming the borough's second directly elected mayor following the resignation of the incumbent, Jules Pipe. He has supported several local community and trade union movements, most recently joining lecturers at Loughborough University London on the picket line to protest changes in university pension scheme.
Glanville has said that more housing should be built to tackle London's growing housing crisis.
Glanville has lobbied to introduce 'curfews' for new nightlife venues, to manage the impact of late-night opening on local communities. This initiative has been launched in an attempt to "encourage new pubs and clubs to consider hard-working neighbours trying to get a good night's sleep", while also encouraging new business development in Hackney.
In August 2023, Glanville was suspended by the Labour Party after it emerged he had attended a party with convicted paedophile and former Hackney councillor Tom Dewey after the latter's arrest, despite having been informed about it.
Glanville had previously claimed to have had no further contact with Dewey following the Council being notified of his arrest shortly after the 2022 local elections.
On the 16 September 2023, following condemnation from the local Green Party as well as from residents, Glanville resigned citing an "error in judgment" for trusting Dewey.




Personal life


He became civilly partnered to his husband Giles McCrary III, a native of Texas, in February 2011 and then was one of the first in the United Kingdom to convert his civil partnership into marriage at a midnight ceremony on 10 December 2014.
