History
In January 2022, in the leadup to the ward's creation, councillors for the Camden Town and Primrose Hill ward Pat Callaghan and Richard Cotton lamented the Local Government Boundary Commission for England's redrawing of the wards of Camden, which split Camden Town with Primrose Hill into separate Camden Town and Primrose Hill wards. Callaghan and Cotton will stand in the Camden Town ward at the 2022 council election.[4]
