Holborn and St Pancras (/ˈhoʊbənənsəntˈpæŋkrəs/) is aparliamentary constituency^{[n 1]} inGreater London that was created in 1983. It has been represented in theHouse of Commons of theParliament of the United Kingdom since2015 by SirKeir Starmer, thePrime Minister since 2024 andLeader of the Labour Party since 2020.^[2]^{[n 2]}

Constituency profile

[edit]

The seat of Holborn and St Pancras as drawn in 2010 is composed of all but a small western portion of theLondon Borough of Camden and extends from most ofCovent Garden andBloomsbury in the heart of the West End of London through other areas of the NW1 postal district, north, and in elevation terms upwards through fashionable and economically diverseCamden Town to the affluent suburb ofHighgate in a long strip.Gospel Oak, particularly towardsKentish Town, has high deprivation levels, but the neighbouringHighgate ward has low deprivation levels.

The southern part of the seat includes theUniversity of London and several teaching hospitals, so the constituency has a large student population.

King's Cross,St Pancras International, andEuston railway termini are in the seat.^[3]

During the 20th century, the Bloomsbury, Holborn, Covent Garden, and Highgate wards overwhelmingly electedConservative councillors. Since 2000, the wards forming the seat in its three revised forms have all swung against the Conservative Party. The 2014 local government elections (for a standard four-year term) produced oneGreen Party councillor for the Highgate ward; the remaining 32 councillors whose wards fall within the seat (as redrawn in 2010) are members of the Labour Party.^[4]

Political history

[edit]

Labour Party MPs have served this constituency since its creation in 1983. The majorities achieved have been varied, from a relatively marginal 13.9% in2005 (making it within the lowest 150 seats for the party in that year by percentage of majority) to a landslide 51.7% in2017. The 2015 result ranked the seat as the 77th safest of the party's 232 seats (by percentage majority).^[5] Its predecessor seats have been in Labour hands for all but one term since1945, and without interruption since1964.

Boundaries

[edit]

Historic

[edit]

The seat was created in 1983 as a primary successor toHolborn and St Pancras South, which was created in 1950. The seat covers the southern half of theLondon Borough of Camden, including all or most ofCamden Town,King's Cross,Gospel Oak,Kentish Town andBloomsbury.

The constituency has contained the following wards of the London Borough of Camden:

1983–1997

Bloomsbury, Brunswick, Camden, Castlehaven, Caversham, Chalk Farm, Gospel Oak, Grafton, Holborn, King's Cross, Regent's Park, St John's, St Pancras, and Somers Town.

1997–2010

As above, less Gospel Oak

Map of boundaries 2010–2024.

2010–2024

Bloomsbury,Camden Town with Primrose Hill,Cantelowes,Gospel Oak,Haverstock,Highgate,Holborn and Covent Garden,Kentish Town,King's Cross,Regent's Park, andSt Pancras and Somers Town. (Wards renamed and redrawn before 2010 election.)

TheFifth periodic review of Westminster constituencies by theBoundary Commission for England was implemented nationally in 2010.^[6] Parts of Highgate, Gospel Oak, Haverstock, and Camden Town with Primrose Hill wards were transferred from the former constituency ofHampstead and Highgate. The electorate of the new seat would have been 85,188 if it had existed in that form at the 2005 general election. The electorate has since risen further, and at the2010 general election it had among the five largest electorates in London.

Current

[edit]

Further to the2023 review of Westminster constituencies, which came into effect for the2024 general election, the constituency is composed of the following London Borough of Camden wards:

Bloomsbury;Camden Square;Camden Town;Haverstock;Holborn and Covent Garden;Kentish Town North;Kentish Town South;King's Cross;Primrose Hill (part);Regent's Park;St. Pancras and Somers Town.^[7]

The contents reflect the local government boundary review for Camden which came into effect in May 2022. In order to bring the electorate within the permitted electoral range, the Highgate and Gospel Oak wards were transferred to the re-established constituency ofHampstead and Highgate.

Members of Parliament

[edit]

Keir Starmer has represented the constituency since2015.

The seat was held from1983 to2015 byFrank Dobson of theLabour Party, who had been elected in1979 to the predecessor seat ofHolborn & St Pancras South.
