Following the abandonment of theSixth Periodic Review (the 2018 review), theBoundary Commission for England formally launched the 2023 Review on 5 January 2021. The Commission calculated that the number of seats to be allocated to the London region would increase by 2 from 73 to 75.[2] Initial proposals were published on 8 June 2021 and, following two periods of public consultation, revised proposals were published on 8 November 2022. The final proposals were published on 28 June 2023.
Under the proposals, an additional constituency namedStratford and Bow was created, covering parts of the boroughs ofNewham andTower Hamlets and straddling theRiver Lea and, in the south of the city, there would be a new constituency namedStreatham and Croydon North, covering parts of the boroughs ofCroydon andLambeth. Elsewhere, changes to boundaries result in a number of name changes. OnlyWalthamstow,Islington North andTooting remained entirely unchanged, with a further seven unchanged except to realign constituency boundaries with local government ward boundaries.[3]
Prior to 1832, the metropolitan area of London was represented by theparliamentary boroughs ofCity of London (four MPs),Westminster andSouthwark (two MPs each). The remainder of the metropolitan area was covered by the historical counties ofMiddlesex andSurrey.
TheReform Act 1832 gave representation in the London metropolitan area to sevenparliamentary boroughs, known as the metropolitan boroughs,[4] with the formation of four additional boroughs, each electing two MPs. In addition, Greenwich was formed as a separate borough from the counties ofKent and Surrey.
TheReform Act 1867 expanded the metropolitan area to include the new borough of Chelsea, and Tower Hamlets was divided into the two boroughs of Hackney and Tower Hamlets.
TheRedistribution of Seats Act 1885 extended the area of parliamentary boroughs to theMetropolitan Board of Works area. With the exception of the City of London, whose representation was reduced from four to two MPs, each borough, or division thereof, was represented by one MP. This act increased the number of MPs representing London from 22 to 59.[5]
TheCounty of London was created in 1889 in succession to the Metropolitan Board of Works. In 1900, the county was divided into 28 boroughs (plus the City of London) and theouter boundary was adjusted. However, the old constituency boundaries remained in place until 1918.
For representation by party, see sections1885 to 1900 and1900 to 1918.
Under theRepresentation of the People Act 1918 the parliamentary boroughs corresponded to the metropolitan boroughs created in 1900, with each borough, or division thereof, being represented by one MP. The City of London continued to be represented by two MPs despite the very small size of its electorate. The number of MPs was increased from 59 to 62.[6]
For representation by party, see sections1918 to 1931 and1931 to 1950.
Under theRepresentation of the People Act 1948, which came into effect for the1950 general election, the county of London was divided into 43 borough constituencies.[7]
Under theFirst Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, effective for the1955 general election, there were limited changes in London, with a reduction of one constituency across the boroughs of Fulham and Hammersmith.[8]
For representation by party, see section1950 to 1974.
DespiteGreater London being created in 1965, the old constituency boundaries remained in place until 1974, awaiting the implementation of theSecond Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies. From 1965 to 1974, Outer London included the following constituencies or parts of constituencies.

When Greater London was created in 1965 the existing constituencies crossed county boundaries. Theconstituency review reported in 1969, and was implemented for theFebruary 1974 election. All 92 constituencies were contained within Greater London and each were within a single London borough, with the exception of the City of London and Westminster South. They were all borough constituencies.[9] The constituencies were also used aselectoral divisions for theGreater London Council from 1973 to 1986.
For representation by party, see sectionsNorth West,North East,South West andSouth East.
The constituencies were redrawn for the 1983 election. All 84 constituencies were contained within Greater London and each were within a single London borough, with the exception of the City of London and Westminster South. They were all borough constituencies.[10]
For representation by party, see sectionsNorth West,North East,South West andSouth East.
The constituencies were redrawn for the 1997 election. All 74 constituencies were contained within Greater London. Constituencies crossed borough boundaries between Bexley and Greenwich; Ealing, and Hammersmith and Fulham; Kensington and Chelsea, Westminster and the City of London; Kingston upon Thames and Richmond upon Thames; Lambeth and Southwark; Newham and Tower Hamlets; and Redbridge and Waltham Forest. They were all borough constituencies.[11]
