[edit]
Walthamstow in Essex, 1885–1918

The South-Western or Walthamstow Division of the parliamentary county of Essex was created by theRedistribution of Seats Act 1885, when the existing seat ofSouth Essex was divided into three single-member constituencies.

The constituency consisted of the threecivil parishes ofLeyton,Woodford andWalthamstow. The area lay on the periphery of theLondon conurbation and became increasingly suburban over its existence.

The seat was abolished under theRepresentation of the People Act 1918. Two new constituencies were created withWalthamstow Urban District divided betweenWalthamstow East andWalthamstow West.[2]

[edit]

1974–1983: TheLondon Borough of Waltham Forest wards of Higham Hill, High Street, Hoe Street, St James Street, and Wood Street.

Walthamstow from 2024

2022–present: Following a local government boundary review which came into effect in May 2022,[3][4] the constituency now comprises the following wards of the London Borough of Waltham Forest:

  • Chapel End; Higham Hill; High Street; Hoe Street (most); Lea Bridge; Markhouse; St James; William Morris; Wood Street; Upper Walthamstow (part); and small parts of Hale End and Highams Park South, Larkswood, and Leyton.[5]

The2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, which was based on the ward structure in place at 1 December 2020, left the boundaries unchanged.[6]

History

[edit]

The seat has been represented by theLabour Party since 1992, before which it was won on amarginal majority in 1987 by aConservative, having until then (since its 1974 recreation as a seat) been served by one Labour MP,Eric Deakins.

In 2015, Creasy's re-election saw Walthamstow become Labours' second-safest London seat, and tenth-safest nationally.[7]

[edit]

Stella Creasy, thepresent member, was the Shadow Minister for Crime Prevention.
