Summary: Greater London’s most northerly constituency, Enfield North abuts the M25 and runs from leafy Green Belt areas to others of light industry and deprived social housing in the Lea Valley.

Wards: Brimsdown; Bullsmoor; Carterhatch; Enfield Lock; Ponders End; Ridgeway; Southbury; Town; Whitewebbs.
