Britain has voted to leave the European Union in a historic vote which saw more than 30 million people turn out to vote - the highest turnout at a UK-wide vote since 1992.

Despite last minute opinion polling showing a swing to remain just 16,141,241 people to remain a member of the EU, compared to 17,410,742 who voted to leave.

In London some areas showed large majorities for remain: 75% in Camden; 78% in Hackney; 66% in Kensington and Chelsea. But remain was an exception across many parts of the country. Leave’s overall lead owed much to the coast, and the east of England.

If you voted leave we’d like to know why, and how you feel about the result. Share your thoughts, anonymously, in the form below – you do not need to answer every question. We’ll use a selection of responses in our reporting.
