Croydon North was a constituency[n 1] represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament from 2012 until its abolition for the 2024 general election by Steve Reed of Labour Co-op.

[n 2] The seat was created in 1918 and split in two in 1955 (taking in neighbouring areas) and re-devised in a wholly different form in 1997.

Under the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the majority of the constituency was incorporated into the re-established seat of Croydon West, with northern parts, including the areas of Norbury, Thornton Heath and Upper Norwood, forming part of the newly created constituency of Streatham and Croydon North.

Wicks was victorious at the next two general elections and died on 29 September 2012, prompting a by-election which was won by Steve Reed of the same party.

[3] Croydon North is the most densely populated of Croydon's three seats, regarded as a safe Labour seat with all wards controlled by them at local level, consisting for the most part of rows of modest terraced houses, interspersed with tower blocks, much of it social and ex-social housing and with recreational areas.
