Hampstead and Highgate, set on London's affluent and trendy northern hills, saw one of the most interesting battles of the 1992 general election - or at least, one of those that attracted the most media attention. A large part of the reason for the glare of publicity was that the Labour candidate, who gained the seat from the Tories, was a celebrity, the actress Glenda Jackson. Also, few parts of London have so clear or well-publicised an image as a haven of fashionable middle-class radicalism as 'Ham and High'.
Glenda Jackson is likely to win more easily this time. Not only is it true that Hampstead and Highgate is both largely middle-class but of a radical nature, but it does have working-class enclaves, and in the limited boundary changes this section is strengthened as the Labour-inclined Gospel Oak ward is added from Holborn and St Pancras.
