Hampstead Town is a ward in the London Borough of Camden, in the United Kingdom.

[1][2] The ward's current boundaries have been in effect since the 2022 election, and the ward's three polling stations are at Burgh House, Fitzjohn's Primary School and Keats Community Library.

[4] The ward has historically been represented by either Conservative or Liberal Democrat councillors.

The first Liberal Democrat councillors, Margaret Little and John Dickie, were elected in May 1994.

Dickie, however, had taken the Labour whip by December 1995, to the surprise of the Liberal Democrat group leader, Flick Rea, who called for him to stand down.

However, Cohen announced 21 days after the election that he would not be taking up his seat on the council, forcing a by-election to be held on 7 July 2022.

[7] Former Liberal Democrat councillor Linda Chung was elected in Cohen's place.

[8] The ward's notable councillors have included two Conservative leaders of the opposition, Alan Greengross (1974–1978) and Oliver Cooper (2015–2022), Archie Macdonald, former Liberal MP for Roxburgh and Selkirk and Labour councillor Adrian Cohen, who founded the London Jewish Forum.

Hampstead Town lost territory to the south to Belsize and Gospel Oak wards.

[18] The by-election took place on 26 January 1989, following the resignation of Selina Gee.
