Under the2023 review of Westminster constituencies, the majority of the constituency – excluding theBorough of Brent wards ofBrondesbury Park,Kilburn andQueens Park – was incorporated into the re-established seat of Hampstead and Highgate.[2]
The seat coveredHampstead andWest Hampstead, which are known for their large houses and affluent population, and to the west, the more working-class areas ofKilburn andQueen's Park.[3]
The constituency was created for the2010 general election in which it was won byLabour'sGlenda Jackson with a majority of 42 votes, being the mostmarginal result in England (the smallest majority in the UK was inFermanagh and South Tyrone,Northern Ireland). In 2010, Hampstead and Kilburn was the closest three-way marginal seat, as the third-placed candidate obtained 841 fewer votes than the winner, approximately 1% of the electorate. In January 2013, Jackson announced that she would not seek re-election, one of 37 of her party's MPs who did so in the2015 general election.
The seat was won by Labour candidateTulip Siddiq. The 2015 result made the seat the 10thnarrowest result of the party's 232 seats (by majority percentage).[4] Comparing the 2015 election to the 2010 election, theLiberal Democrat share of the vote fell by 25.6%, which compared to a national negative swing for the party of 15.2%.
In the2016 referendum, in which the UK voted to leave theEuropean Union, theconstituency voted to remain by 76.6%.[5]
In 2017, Labour significantly increased its majority to 26.6%, winning nearly 60% of votes cast.
The constituency covered a north-western portion of theLondon Borough of Camden and an easternmost portion ofLondon Borough of Brent and was composed of the following electoral wards:
Due to theBoundary Commission'sfifth periodic review of Westminster constituencies,[n 1] the number of constituencies across Camden and Brent fell from five to four. The seat of Hampstead and Kilburn was a new creation for the2010 general election resulting from these changes.[6]
