Hampstead and Highgate is aparliamentary constituency covering the northern half of theLondon Borough of Camden, and a small part of theLondon Borough of Haringey. It includes the villages ofHampstead andHighgate. It has been represented byTulip Siddiq of theLabour Party since2024.

It was abolished in the2010 general election, with the majority forming the new constituency ofHampstead and Kilburn, and part going into theHolborn and St Pancras seat.

Further to the completion of the2023 periodic review of Westminster constituencies, the seat was re-established for the2024 general election.^[3]

History

[edit]

Some areas here were amongst the wealthiest in the UK, but the seat always had an intellectual, artisticmiddle-class vote associated with theintelligentsia (see main page onHampstead). It also containedKilburn, with its largeIrish community. The Labour incumbent in Hampstead and Highgate at the time of abolition,Glenda Jackson, retained the new constituency of Hampstead and Kilburn in2010 with a majority of just 42.^[4]

Boundaries

[edit]

1983–1997: TheLondon Borough of Camden wards of Adelaide,Belsize, Fitzjohns,Fortune Green,Frognal,Hampstead Town,Highgate,Kilburn, Priory, South End,Swiss Cottage, and West End.

1997–2010: The London Borough of Camden wards of Adelaide, Belsize, Fitzjohns, Fortune Green, Frognal,Gospel Oak, Hampstead Town, Highgate, Kilburn, Priory, South End, Swiss Cottage, and West End.

In 2002, aLocal Government Boundary Commission for England review abolished the Adelaide, Priory, South End and West End wards, whilst it combined Frognal and Fitzjohns into one ward. For the2005 general election, the electoral wards used in this constituency were Belsize,Camden Town with Primrose Hill (part), Fortune Green,Frognal and Fitzjohns, Gospel Oak (part), Hampstead Town,Haverstock (part), Highgate (part), Kilburn, Swiss Cottage andWest Hampstead.^[5]

Following their review of parliamentary representation inNorth London, theBoundary Commission for England created a new constituency ofHampstead and Kilburn by excluding Highgate ward (which became part ofHolborn & St Pancras) and including three wards from the neighbouring borough ofBrent. Hampstead and Kilburn largely replaced Hampstead and Highgate for the2010 general election.

2024–present: The London Borough of Camden wards of Belsize, Fortune Green, Frognal, Gospel Oak, Hampstead Town, Highgate, Kilburn,Primrose Hill (part);South Hampstead, and West Hampstead, and the London Borough of Haringey ward of Highgate.^[6]

It comprises those parts of theBorough of Camden previously in the abolishedHampstead and Kilburn constituency, plus theGospel Oak andHighgate wards, transferred fromHolborn and St Pancras, and the Highgate ward in theBorough of Haringey, transferred fromHornsey and Wood Green.
