Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat will be subject to moderate boundary changes, including the loss of Croydon town centre (to be included in the re-established constituency of Croydon West), and will therefore be abolished and succeeded by the re-established seat of Croydon East, to be first contested at the 2024 general election.
