Description BBC Constituency Profile:

Situated in north London is the seat of Edmonton. The constituency is inner city in character and home to large numbers of Cypriot, Bangladeshi and Afro-Caribbean communities. A relatively deprived area, almost a quarter of the population lives in social housing, with one in 10 households run by a jobless adult with children.

At 15.3%, it has the highest proportion of lone parents of any constituency in England and Wales, according to ONS 2011 Census data. Unemployment is high at 7% - one in seven of the population has never worked or is long-term unemployed. One in seven works in health and social work. Retail and transport are also important sectors.

A Labour seat from 1945, it fell to the Conservatives in 1983. Labour's Andy Love retook it in 1997 and held the seat in 2010 with 53.7% of the votes; Conservatives got 29.8%, Liberal Democrats 10.5% and UKIP 2.6%.
