Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat will be abolished, with the four southern wards, comprising the town of Streatham, being included in the newly created constituency of Streatham and Croydon North. Northern areas (Brixton Hill, Clapham Common, Thornton, and Tulse Hill) will form part of the new constituency of Clapham and Brixton Hill.[4]
