Stratford and Bow

Stratford and Bow is a constituency of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament. Further to the completion of the 2023 review of Westminster constituencies, it was first contested at the 2024 general election, since when it has been represented by Uma Kumaran of the Labour Party.

Constituency profile
The population of Newham and Tower Hamlets has grown significantly in the 21st century so the collective representation of these two boroughs increased from four seats to five in the 2023 boundary review. This seat includes Stratford which has undergone extensive regeneration and hosted the 2012 Olympic Games. Overlapping Inner and Outer London, it comprises the towns of Stratford in the east and Bow and Old Ford to the west, and is mostly Victorian housing with some post-war housing estates. == Boundaries ==
