| Description | This is the most northerly of the three constituencies in the most populous London borough - Croydon. The seat was re-drawn by the 1995 Boundary Commission which reduced the number of Croydon constituencies from four to three. Labour's Malcolm Wicks, the former director of the Family Policy Studies Centre, won here in 1997 by a majority of 18,398, securing more than twice as many votes as his Conservative runner-up. He had previously taken Croydon North-West in 1992 by just 160 votes. Mr Wicks' majority in 2001 remained high at 16,858, a lead of 40%. Labour's greatest strength lies in inner Croydon in old terraces and newer council housing, and in Thornton Heath which resembles inner rather than outer London. Conservative support is further north, in suburban Norbury and the leafy slopes of Beulah Hill. This seat has the lowest proportion of white residents (50%) and the highest of black residents (24%) of the three Croydons. The percentage of owner-occupiers here is the smallest of the three but is still 64%. With five British Rail stations, the constituency has very good links to central London and the south, and as a result many residents commute to work. The constituency includes Selhurst Park, the home of Premiership football club, Crystal Palace. The Liberal/SDP Alliance won a by-election in Croydon North West in 1981, at the height of their fortunes, but subsequently lost to the Conservatives in 1992. In 2001 the Lib Dems came third.
