Millions of voters across London will go to the polls on July 4 to elect the new Government. The Standard is looking at key battleground and other seats in the capital, and has published an interactive map.

Here we turn the spotlight on:EDMONTON AND WINCHMORE HILL

Candidates for main parties (in alphabetical order):

Luke Balnave - Green Party

Zoe Huggins - Conservatives

Tim Martin - Liberal Democrats

Kate Osamor - Labour

Neville Watson - Reform UK

Summary: A new constituency, Edmonton and Winchmore Hill stretches from gritty Tottenham to the south to leafy Enfield in the north and has one of the country’s most ethnically diverse populations.

Labour Left-winger Kate Osamor held the abolished constituency of Edmonton and is running in the new seat, which has also taken on parts of the defunct seat of Enfield Southgate.

Wards: Bush Hill Park; Edmonton Green; Grange Park; Haselbury; Highfield; Jubilee; Lower Edmonton; Upper Edmonton; Winchmore Hill

I’m not sure if I’m in this constituency: Here’s how you can check

Boundary changes impact: Edmonton was a Labour stronghold and the newly drawn constituency will remain so, albeit by less. The party’s vote share is seen falling to 58.2% from 65% on the old boundaries in 2019, according to analysis for Sky News by Professor Michael Thrasher.

YouGov MRP poll prediction: Labour hold.

Evening Standard view: Kate Osamor’s return to the Commons will ensure the survival of a significant voice of the London Left in what is expected to be a largely centrist Labour government under Sir Keir Starmer.

She was suspended from the Labour whip in January for comments made about Holocaust Memorial Day following the war in Gaza, but was reinstated in May, just in time for the election.
