Hampstead & Highgate is a parliamentary constituency covering the northern half of the London Borough of Camden, which includes the village of Hampstead and part of that of Highgate. Since 2024, it has been represented by Tulip Siddiq.

It was abolished in the 2010 general election, with the majority forming the new constituency of Hampstead and Kilburn, and part going into the Holborn and St Pancras seat.

Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat was re-established for the 2024 general election.[3]

History[edit]

Some areas here were amongst the wealthiest in the UK, but the seat always had an intellectual, artistic middle-class vote associated with the intelligentsia (see main page on Hampstead). It also contained Kilburn, with its large Irish community. The Labour incumbent in Hampstead and Highgate at the time of abolition, Glenda Jackson, retained the new constituency of Hampstead and Kilburn in 2010 with a majority of just 42.[4]

Boundaries[edit]

1983–2010 boundaries

1983–1997: The London 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, a Local 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 the 2005 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 and West Hampstead.[5]

Following their review of parliamentary representation in North London, the Boundary Commission for England created a new constituency of Hampstead and Kilburn by excluding Highgate ward (which became part of Holborn & St Pancras) and including three wards from the neighbouring borough of Brent. Hampstead and Kilburn largely replaced Hampstead and Highgate for the 2010 general election.

Current[edit]

Further to the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, which came into effect for the 2024 general election, the re-established constituency is composed of the following:

It comprises those parts of the Borough of Camden currently in the abolished Hampstead and Kilburn constituency, plus the Gospel Oak and Highgate wards, transferred from Holborn and St Pancras, and the Highgate ward in the Borough of Haringey, transferred from Hornsey and Wood Green.
