Walthamstow (Contemp. and Cons. RP: /wɔːlθəmstəʊ/, Est. Eng.: /woːwfm̩stɐʏ/) is a constituency[n 1] in Greater London created in 1974 and represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2010 by Stella Creasy, a member of the Labour and Co-operative Party, in political union with the Labour Party.[n 2]

An earlier version of the constituency existed covering a significantly different area (1885–1918) and was among the vast majority by that time returning one member to the House of Commons.
