Brent East, in north-east London, is best known as the seat of Ken Livingstone, newt lover and former Labour leader of the now defunct Greater London Council. Embracing areas like Kilburn and Cricklewood, voters generally tilt towards Labour, but in a good year for the Conservatives Brent East could fall to them. However, this seems most unlikely in 1997.
