General Election 2024 London seats: Who will be my MP in… Southgate and Wood Green?

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:

SOUTHGATE AND WOOD GREEN

Candidates for main parties (in alphabetical order):

Bambos Charalambous - LabourLauren Fulbright - Liberal Democrats

Charith Gunawardena - Green

Lucy O'Sullivan - Reform UK

Eric Sukumaran - Conservatives

Summary: Encompassing several stations at the eastern end of the Piccadilly Line, Southgate and Wood Green is brand new for this election.

It took on a large chunk of the old Enfield Southgate with bits of four other seats including Hornsey & Wood Green, and Tottenham.

Bambos Charalambous was the Labour MP for Enfield Southgate from 2017 but only had the party whip suspended in April after a 10-month internal probe into his conduct, clearing him to stand in the new constituency.

Wards: Arnos Grove; Bounds Green; Bowes; Cockfosters; New Southgate; Noel Park; Oakwood; Palmers Green; Southgate; White Hart Lane; Woodside.

Boundary changes impact: While entirely new, Southgate and Wood Green was already looking safely Labour based on its inherited areas. Only two of its wards - leafy Cockfosters and Oakwood - voted Conservative in 2019.

YouGov MRP poll prediction: Labour hold.

Evening Standard view: The Piccadilly Line is dark blue, but Southgate and Wood Green is red.
