Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat will be subject to major boundary changes, with the district of Wood Green to be included in the new constituency of Southgate and Wood Green, and Highgate ward in the re-established seat of Hampstead and Highgate. To partly compensate, the Borough of Barnet ward of Friern Barnet will be added. As a consequence of these changes, the constituency will be renamed Hornsey and Friern Barnet, to be first contested at the next general election.
