Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat will be subject to boundary changes which will incorporate the areas of Winchmore Hill and Grange Park from the abolished constituency of Enfield Southgate, offset by the transfer of Ponders End back to Enfield North. As a consequence, it will be renamed Edmonton and Winchmore Hill, to be first contested at the next general election.
