summary:

Interesting constituency as the Tories, Lib Dems and most recently the Greens have come second to Labor here.

The seat was created in 1997 and held by the late Dame Tessa Jowell, who was Culture Secretary and Olympics Minister until 2015.

After she retired, Helen Hayes became an MP, winning here by a majority of 27,310 in 2019 and campaigning for a crackdown on zombie knives and other dangerous knives.

It had the third highest vote for Remain in the UK in the 2016 Brexit referendum.

Area: This constituency has the five Lambeth wards of Coldharbour, Gipsy Hill, Herne Hill, Knight’s Hill and Thurlow Park, as well as three in Southwark, including Champion Hill, Dulwich Village and Dulwich Wood.

Impact of boundary changes (Thrasher and Rallings analysis): The most interesting aspect of the boundary changes in this constituency comes down to percentage points. Labor won in 2019 with 65.5 percent of the vote, and the Greens in second place with 16.5 percent, just ahead of the conservatives with 16.4 percent. The new constituency would have been 64.5% Labour, the Conservatives 16.6% to the Greens 16.2%.

YouGov MRP poll prediction: Retention of work

Standard Evening View: Forget Labour, they will win here. Much more interesting is who comes second, the Greens, the Tories or the Lib Dems.
