A group of students at the Richmond American University London, in Chiswick, had a mixed reaction to the result.

“I thought Donald Trump was going to win it. I really didn’t want Kamala Harris to win,” said Fawaz Gari, a 26-year-old international relations student.

“My brother said ‘If Kamala wins the election then we’re not going back to the US.’”
