Stella Judith Creasy (born 5 April 1977) is a British Labour Co-operative politician, who has been the Member of Parliament for the London constituency of Walthamstow since the 2010 general election.
Creasy was born in Sutton Coldfield, and is the daughter of Corinna Frances Avril (née Martin) and Philip Charles Creasy, both active Labour Party members; her father is a trained opera singer and her mother a headteacher of a special needs school. Her elder brother, Matthew Henry Creasy (born 1974), is an academic.
After spending her early childhood in Manchester, her family moved to Colchester where Creasy attended Colchester County High School for Girls, a grammar school. Although she initially failed the eleven-plus exam, the Creasy family's move south gave her a second chance. Creasy attended Magdalene College, Cambridge where she read Social and Political Sciences before pursuing postgraduate studies at London School of Economics. Creasy received the Richard Titmuss Award in 2005 for her thesis. In the 1990s, towards the end of John Major's period as prime minister, Creasy was an intern at the Fabian Society.
