(Redirected from Holborn and St. Pancras (UK Parliament constituency))
'Holborn and St. Pancras' is a parliamentary constituency in the United Kingdom covering the southern half of the
London Borough of Camden which includes districts of
Camden Town,
Kentish Town and
Bloomsbury.
Boundaries
The seat was created in 1983 as a successor to the
Holborn and St. Pancras South which had been in existence since 1950.
Boundary review
Following their review of parliamentary representation in
North London the
Boundary Commission for England has recommended the creation of a modified Holborn constituency, made from the following electoral wards in the
London Borough of Camden:
★ Bloomsbury,
Camden Town with Primrose Hill, Cantelowes, Gospel Oak,
Haverstock, Highgate, Holborn and
Covent Garden,
Kentish Town,
King's Cross,
Regent's Park,
St Pancras and Somers Town.
Compared to the previous boundaries, this sees the addition of Gospel Oak and Highgate from the
Hampstead and Highgate constituency. (Gospel Oak had previously been part of the constituency, but had been moved to Hampstead and Highgate at the last review.) The electorate of the new seat would've been 85,188 if had existed at the
2005 General Election the figure has since risen further and at the next election it is likely to have one of the highest electorates in London.
Members of Parliament
The seat has been held since 1983 by
Frank Dobson for
Labour, who had been elected in 1979 to the predecessor seat of
Holborn & St. Pancras South.
Frank Dobson is now the longest serving Labour MP in London.
Election results
Jo Shaw has been selected as the
Liberal Democrat candidate for the
the UK general election in 2009 or 2010.
