Streatham and Croydon North is a constituency of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament.[2] Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, it will first be contested at the 2024 general election.
Boundaries
The constituency was defined as comprising the following wards as they existed on 1 December 2020:
- The London Borough of Croydon wards of Crystal Palace and Upper Norwood, Norbury and Pollards Hill, Norbury Park, and Thornton Heath, transferred from the abolished Croydon North constituency.
- The London Borough of Lambeth wards of St Leonard's, Streatham Hill, Streatham South, and Streatham Wells, transferred from the abolished Streatham constituency.[3]
Following a local government boundary review in the Borough of Lambeth which came into effect in May 2022,[4][5] the constituency now comprises the following from the 2024 general election:
- The London Borough of Croydon wards of: Crystal Palace & Upper Norwood, Norbury & Pollards Hill, Norbury Park, Thornton Heath.
- The London Borough of Lambeth wards of: Clapham Park (small part); St Martin's (small part); Streatham Common & Vale; Streatham Hill East; Streatham Hill West & Thornton (part); Streatham St Leonard's; Streatham Wells.[6]
It is the first time these areas have shared a constituency since the creation of the Wandsworth and Croydon constituencies in 1885.

The Labour Party decided Bell Ribeiro-Addy, MP for Streatham since 2019, would run in the new Clapham and Brixton Hill constituency, and Steve Reed, MP for Croydon North since 2012 would run in this new Streatham and Croydon North constituency.
