This apparently suburban north London seat, comprising all of the former seat of Hendon North and part of Hendon South, is a little more mixed than may at first sight be expected. It includes substantial local authority housing to the south, and a significant non-white population. There have also been serious local concerns about the closure of hospital accident and emergency departments. On balance the Conservatives ought to hold, but if Labour do really well they could just snatch Hendon in 1997.
