Under the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the constituency will be subject to major boundary changes. Northern parts, including the areas of Norbury, Thornton Heath and Upper Norwood, will form part of the newly created constituency of Streatham and Croydon North. To compensate, the seat is to be extended southwards to include Croydon town centre and Waddon. As a consequence of these changes, the seat will be abolished and succeeded by the re-established seat of Croydon West, to be first contested at the next general election.
