Boundaries

[edit]

Map of boundaries 1974–1983

1885–1918: The parish of St John, Hampstead.^[2]

1918–1974: TheMetropolitan Borough of Hampstead

1974–1983:London Borough of Camden wards of Adelaide,Belsize,Hampstead Town,Kilburn, Priory, Swiss Cottage and West End.

The parliamentary borough of Hampstead was created by theRedistribution of Seats Act 1885, and consisted of thecivil parish of St John,Hampstead,Middlesex.^[3] The parish had previously formed part of theParliamentary County of Middlesex.^[4] Hampstead lay within the area of theMetropolitan Board of Works, and in 1889 this became theCounty of London. In1900 the county was divided into twenty-eightmetropolitan boroughs, with the civil parish becoming theMetropolitan Borough of Hampstead.^[4]

Parliamentary constituencies were redrawn under theRepresentation of the People Act 1918, with boundaries in London realigned to those of the metropolitan boroughs. Accordingly, the Hampstead constituency was defined by the legislation as being identical in area to the metropolitan borough of the same name.^[4]^[5] When the next redistribution was carried out under theRepresentation of the People Act 1948, the term "parliamentary borough" was replaced with "borough constituency". The renamed Hampstead Borough Constituency continued with the same boundaries, with the changes coming into effect for the1950 general election.^[6]

In1965 both the County of London and the metropolitan boroughs were abolished. Hampstead became part of the largerLondon Borough of Camden.^[4] The changes were not reflected in parliamentary boundaries until 1970. The constituency was officially renamed "Camden, Hampstead Borough Constituency" and was defined as comprising sevenwards of the London Borough, namely Adelaide,Belsize,Hampstead Town,Kilburn, Priory, Swiss Cottage and West End.^[7] The wards of the borough were altered in 1973, withSwiss Cottage ward replacing Hampstead Central in the constituency's definition.^[4] These boundaries were used until 1983, when the seat was abolished.
