The Finchley and Golders Green constituency can be found in north London and is within the borough of Barnet. The current constituency boundaries join part of the former Hendon South constituency.

Finchley is best known for its former MP, Margaret Thatcher. She was the UK's first female Prime Minister, breaking a string of records including three general election victories and the lengthiest premiership of the 20th century. However, in 1997, the constituency could not resist the huge pro-Labour swing in outer London and returned Labour candidate Rudi Vis as its member. Now, the constituency is represented by Mike Freer, who has been re-elected 4 times in recent General Elections.

The seat has a large Jewish community, and is also home to a growing number of ethnic communities, including Cypriot, Indian and a significant Irish community in the western part of the seat in Cricklewood.

Only 9.8% of homes are council-rented, unemployment is below the national average, and over 75% of the workforce are in non-manual occupations - and a great many of those earn above average pay.

At a local level, the constituency is split into eight wards which are

• Childs Hill
• Cricklewood
• East Finchley
• Finchley Church End,
• Garden Suburb,
• Golders Green, 
• West Finchley
• Woodhouse.
