Enfield North is a peripheralGreater Londonconstituency^{[n 1]} created in 1974 and represented in theHouse of Commons of theUK Parliament since 2019 byFeryal Clark of theLabour Party.

The northernmost seat inGreater London, Enfield North is deeply suburban, almost village-like in parts, particularly its rolling terrain, includingGordon Hill and Carterhatch.Green belt legislation has kept housing development at bay, and the area has much in common with the adjoining county ofHertfordshire. The tree-lined avenues ofEnfield Chase are also quiet and affluent.^[2] However, much of the eastern part of the constituency is in theLea Valley industrial area, and includes some small areas with significant levels of multiple deprivation.^[3]

The seat was created for theFebruary 1974 election from the former seats ofEnfield West andEnfield East. The former was a safeConservative seat, at one point represented byIain Macleod, whereas the latter was a secureLabour seat.

From its creation up until 2015, Enfield North was somewhat abellwether of the national result; it elected Labour MPs at both the 1974 elections, was taken by the Conservatives and held by comfortable margins in every election from 1979 to 1992, before being won back by Labour in 1997 (albeit with relatively narrow majorities throughout the party's time in government) and narrowly going to the Conservatives in2010 in an election which nationally saw ahung Parliament. In 2015, however, the Conservatives lost the seat to Labour in an election which nationally saw them win an overall majority.

Boundary alterations based on an increased population within the existing area made the seat notionally Conservative before the 6 May 2010 election, andNick de Bois won the seat. However, the former Labour MPJoan Ryan, who sat for the constituency from 1997 to 2010, regained it in 2015. The 2015 result gave the seat the 13th most marginal majority of Labour's 232 seats by percentage of majority.^[4] De Bois and Ryan stood against each other in this seat over five general elections, between 2001 and 2017, with Ryan winning four of those five.

The constituency is set in the northern third of theLondon Borough of Enfield, stretching fromEnfield Chase in the west, and theKing George V Reservoir in the east, incorporatingBrimsdown,Enfield Lock, and theM25 motorway interchange at the boundary with the borough ofBroxbourne to the north.^[5]
