Replaced by | Camberwell & Peckham, North Southwark and Bermondsey |
It was created for the 1885 general election and abolished for the 1997 general election, when it was replaced by the new constituency of Camberwell and Peckham.
Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat was re-established for the 2024 general election. It is composed primarily of the majority of the now abolished constituency of Camberwell and Peckham.[2]
The constituency was, by the time of its abolition, a safe Labour seat. It was held for the last thirteen years of its existence by Harriet Harman, who went on to become the deputy leader of the Labour Party.
The constituency shared boundaries with the Peckham electoral division for election of councillors to the Greater London Council at elections in 1973, 1977 and 1981.
Further to the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, which came into effect for the 2024 general election, the re-established constituency is composed of the following wards of the London Borough of Southwark (as they existed on 1 December 2020):
The contents reflect the new ward structure which became effective in May 2018. The re-established seat primarily comprises the majority of the abolished constituency of Camberwell and Peckham, together with parts of Bermondsey and Old Southwark (mainly North Walworth).
