Hampstead and Highgate is a parliamentary constituency covering the northern half of the London Borough of Camden, and a small part of the London Borough of Haringey. It includes the villages of Hampstead and Highgate. It has been represented by Tulip Siddiq of the Labour Party since 2024, having been the MP for the predecessor seat of Hampstead and Kilburn since 2015. It was first created for the 1983 general election and abolished for the 2010 general election, with the majority forming the new constituency of Hampstead and Kilburn, and part going into the Holborn and St Pancras seat. Further to the completion of the 2023 review of Westminster constituencies, the seat was re-established for the 2024 general election. Hampstead and Highgate is a mostly suburban constituency in Greater London, located around 4 miles (6.4 km) north-west of the centre of London. It covers the neighbourhoods of Hampstead, Highgate, Belsize Park, Swiss Cottage and parts of Kilburn. Like much of suburban London, the area grew rapidly in population with the arrival of rail transport in the late 19th century. Hampstead is known for being home to many wealthy celebrities and politicians, whilst Kilburn has high levels of deprivation. The average house price in the constituency is over £1.2 million, double the London average and more than four times the national average.
