Review of MP constituencies has just been leaked:
Hornsey and Wood Green unchanged. Stroud Green ward will go into Tottenham, Holloway goes into Islington North, Holborn, Covent Garden, Kings Cross and City of London go into Islington South.
The most interesting thing for me is that David Lammy gets to move into his constituency without having to move house.

38. In Haringey, we noted that the Hornsey
and Wood Green constituency could be left
unchanged, but in order to accommodate
changes elsewhere, we propose to include
one ward (Stroud Green) in the Tottenham
constituency. We also propose to include
one Enfield ward (Bowes) from the existing
Enfield, Southgate constituency in the
Hornsey and Wood Green constituency.
44. In Islington, we noted that the electorate
was too small for two constituencies and we
decided to expand the existing Islington North
constituency to include one ward (Holloway)
from the existing Islington South and Finsbury
constituency. To replace the Holloway ward,
we propose to include the City of London
and two Camden wards (Holborn and
Covent Garden, and King’s Cross). Although
the City of London has had a longstanding
constituency link with wards from the City
of Westminster, we noted that there are also
close communication links between the City
of London and the south of the Borough of
Islington. We decided that the constituency
should be renamed The City of London and
Islington South.
