History

[edit]
A map showing the wards of Camberwell Metropolitan Borough as they appeared in 1916.

The constituency of Dulwich was created by theRedistribution of Seats Act 1885, as one of nine covering the enlarged parliamentary former borough ofLambeth. Lambeth councillors had been overwhelmingly progressiveLiberals though this part of the seat did have Conservative parish/urban district councillors before 1885.[1] Dulwich was one of three seats in the new parliamentary borough ofCamberwell.

As a suburban London constituency, Dulwich tended to favour theConservatives, and returned a Conservative member in each election between 1885 and 1945, when it fell to theLabour party. After that it became a marginal seat, with Labour winning slightly more times than the Conservatives. In 1892 the Liberal candidate estimated that it had around 4,000 working class voters out of around 10,500 and observed that although it had a reputation as a 'villa constituency' there were many voters in the many less impressive houses.[2]

The constituency shared boundaries with theDulwich electoral division for election of councillors to the Greater London Council at elections in 1973, 1977 and 1981. Gerald Bowden held the seat from 1977 to 1981.
