Clapham and Brixton Hill is a proposed constituency of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament.[1] Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, it will first be contested at the 2024 general election.
Boundaries[edit]
The constituency will comprise the following wards of the London Borough of Lambeth (as they existed in 1 December 2020):[2]
- Brixton Hill, Clapham Common, Thornton, and Tulse Hill, transferred from Streatham (to be abolished and replaced by Streatham and Croydon North)
- Clapham Town, Ferndale and Larkhall, transferred from Vauxhall (to be renamed Vauxhall and Camberwell Green)[3]
Following a local government boundary review in the Borough of Lambeth which came into effect in May 2022,[4][5] the constituency will now comprise the following from the 2024 general election:
- The London Borough of Lambeth wards of: Brixton Acre Lane; Brixton North (majority); Brixton Rush Common (nearly all); Clapham Common and Abbeville; Clapham East; Clapham Park (nearly all); Clapham Town; St Martin's (part); Stockwell East (part); Stockwell West and Larkhall (part); Streatham Hill West and Thornton (majority); and a very small part of West Dulwich.[6]
Constituency profile[edit]
The seat is formed from parts of the former Vauxhall and Streatham seats which are both very Labour-leaning.
