BBC Constituency Profile:
Situated in north east London is the seat of Chingford and Woodford Green, which is currently held by former Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith. Its previous incumbent was Norman Tebbit, the party's former chairman, who retired in 1992. Another well-known MP was Winston Churchill, who represented the Woodford part of the seat until 1964.
As well as the large swathes of inter-war semi-detached housing, the seat also includes parts of Epping Forest and runs alongside the Chingford reservoirs. It is home to significant Muslim, Hindu and Jewish communities. Two-thirds of the population own their own home; one in seven rents privately, according to ONS 2011 Census figures for England and Wales. One in five has a professional occupation, with high numbers working in real estate, finance and insurance.
In 2010, the Conservatives held the seat with 52.8% of the votes; Labour got 22.7%, Liberal Democrats 16.8% and BNP 3%.
