Following a local government boundary review in the Borough of Lambeth which came into effect in May 2022,[2][3] the constituency will now comprise the following from the 2024 general election:

  • 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.
  • The London Borough of Croydon wards of: Crystal Palace & Upper Norwood, Norbury & Pollards Hill, Norbury Park, Thornton Heath.[4]

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.
