The hard-left leader stood as an independent in Islington North and has been a thorn in Sir Keir Starmer’s side throughout the General Election campaign.
But he secured victory in the constituency, trouncing Labour’s Praful Nargund.
Mr Corbyn secured 24,120 votes, compared to Mr Nargund’s 16,873.

Asked whether his successor, Sir Keir Starmer, will make a good Prime Minister, Mr Corbyn said: "Well, see what happens.
"He will become Prime Minister, he will have a majority in Parliament, he has put forward a manifesto that is thin to put it mildly and doesn't offer a serious economic alternative to what the Conservative government is doing.
"And so the demands on him are going to be huge, the demands from the people are going to be huge."
Mr Corbyn claimed the result shows what "more inclusive politics can bring about".
He added: "I couldn't be more proud of my constituency than I am tonight and proud of our team that brought this result. Thank you very much Islington North for the result we have achieved tonight."

In the 2019 election, Jeremy Corbyn won the Islington North seat with a majority of more than 26,000 votes. The former Leader of the Opposition has represented the area in the House of Commons since 1983.
But after being expelled from the party, he divided opinion in the London constituency after deciding to run as an Independent.
In the days leading up to the crunch vote on July 4, several members of the local Labour party resigned so that they could campaign for Mr Corbyn.
