Streatham was a constituency[n 1] represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament.
In the 2016 EU referendum, Streatham was estimated to have voted to remain in the European Union by 79%.[2] This was the second highest remain vote in the United Kingdom, behind Vauxhall.[3]
Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat was abolished. The four southern wards, comprising the town of Streatham, were included in the new constituency of Streatham and Croydon North. Northern areas (Brixton Hill, Clapham Common, Thornton, and Tulse Hill) form part of the new constituency of Clapham and Brixton Hill.[4]
