Ealing North is a constituency[n 1] represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 1997 by Stephen Pound of the Labour Party.[n 2]

History

Straddling the Western Avenue and directly south of Harrow the seat occupies the north-western part of the London Borough of Ealing and from the February 1974 to 2005 general elections inclusive, Ealing North was a Labour-Conservative marginal seat won by the party forming the government, thus a bellwether seat.

Boundaries

1950–1974: The Municipal Borough of Ealing wards of Greenford Central, Greenford North, Greenford South, Hanger Hill, Northolt, and Perivale.

1974–1983: The London Borough of Ealing wards of Brent, Cleveland, Horsenden, Mandeville, Perivale, Ravenor, and West End.

Boundary review

Following its review of parliamentary representation in North London, the Boundary Commission for England made some minor changes to Ealing North. Part of Greenford Broadway ward, along with tiny parts of Hobbayne ward and Dormers Wells ward were transferred from Ealing North to the constituency of Ealing Southall. Tiny parts of Hobbayne ward and Dormers Wells ward were exchanged in return. Parts of Ealing Broadway ward and Hanger Hill ward were removed to the new Ealing Central and Acton constituency which now avoids containing part of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham.
