Cities of London and Westminster (UK Parliament constituency)

Before 1950 the City of London formed a two-member constituency on its own. The Boundary Commission for England began reviewing constituencies in January 1946 using rules defined under the Representation of the People Act 1944, which excluded the City of London from the redistribution procedure;{{refn|Whether the City of London returned one or two members was left for the decision of Parliament.}}"Initial Report of the Boundary Commission for England", Cmd. 7260, p. 4. the Commission recommended that the borough of Chelsea and the City of Westminster form a single Parliamentary Borough of Chelsea and Westminster with two divisions."Initial Report of the Boundary Commission for England", Cmd. 7260, p. 33.

In February 1948 the Government brought forward a new Representation of the People Bill which removed the right of owners of business premises to a second vote; this would have had the effect of reducing the electorate of the City of London from 12,500 to 4,600. The Bill proposed also to end the City of London as a separate constituency and to merge it with the adjacent boroughs of Finsbury and Shoreditch.{{cite news |url=http://find.galegroup.com/ttda/infomark.do?&source=gale&prodId=TTDA&userGroupName=wes_ttda&tabID=T003&docPage=article&searchType=&docId=CS68896336&type=multipage&contentSet=LTO&version=1.0 |title=Redistribution of Seats |work=The Times |date=16 February 1948 |page=4}} During debates on the Bill, the Government amended it to substitute a link between the City of London and the City of Westminster.{{cite news |url=http://find.galegroup.com/ttda/infomark.do?&source=gale&prodId=TTDA&userGroupName=wes_ttda&tabID=T003&docPage=article&searchType=&docId=CS69682894&type=multipage&contentSet=LTO&version=1.0 |title=Proposals For New Seats |work=The Times |date=14 June 1948 |page=4}} In introducing the amendment the Home Secretary James Chuter Ede noted that the alterations to the constituencies in Westminster, Chelsea and Kensington had been agreed unanimously at a conference between the Members of Parliament and representatives of the boroughs affected.[https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/commons/1948/jun/15/clause-3-adaptation-of-7-8-geo-6-c-41#column_326 HC Debs] 5ser vol 452 col 326.

These changes came into force from the 1950 election.

No alteration was made by the First Periodical Report on constituency boundaries in 1954."Boundary Commission for England", First Periodical Report, Cmd. 9311, p. 25. In the Second Periodical Report in 1969, the Boundary Commission wrote that their initial feelings were that "except for a minor alteration to follow a new ward boundary" they felt that there was "no reason to disturb" the constituency, and they received no objections to this proposal. Westminster City Council later suggested that the constituency could be more accurately named as 'The City of London and Westminster South'; the Boundary Commission found opinion divided and left the name unchanged when it published revised proposals for two other constituencies within the city. Subsequent representations on the name were received and the Commission decided that, although justified on historical grounds, the name was "not now entirely accurate" and so proposed the renaming as suggested by the City Council."Boundary Commission for England", Second Periodical Report, Cmnd. 4084, pp. 26-27.

In initial proposals during the Third Periodical Review (1983), the Boundary Commission proposed to abolish the St Marylebone constituency and add four wards from it (Cavendish, Baker Street, Bryanston and Regents Park) to the previous City of London and Westminster South constituency; they provisionally named the result 'The City of London and Westminster'. After a local inquiry, the Regents Park ward was removed, and Hyde Park ward (from the Paddington constituency) was added; unanimous opinion at the inquiry favoured naming the result 'The City of London and Westminster South'."Boundary Commission for England", Third Periodical Report, Cmnd. 8797-I, pp. 37–8.

For the Fourth Periodical Review (1995), the Boundary Commission paired the City of Westminster with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea for consideration. The commission's initial proposals, to expand the constituency by two wards (Bayswater and Lancaster Gate) formerly in Westminster North and to return to the name 'Cities of London and Westminster', were upheld after a local inquiry, despite multiple counter-proposals."Boundary Commission for England", Fourth Periodical Report, HC 433-i of session 1994-95, pp. 38-45.

At the Fifth Periodical Review (in 2007), the initial proposals of the Boundary Commission paired the City of Westminster with the London Borough of Brent although they involved only minor changes to the Cities of London and Westminster constituency to take account of new ward boundaries. Widespread objections ("almost universal hostility") to the pairing led to a local inquiry, which decided that Westminster and the City of London should be reviewed separately and not paired with any other borough. The Commission proposed a new Cities of London and Westminster constituency in which the revised Bayswater and Lancaster Gate wards were removed."Boundary Commission for England", Fifth Periodical Report, Cm 7032-I, pp. 42–51.

Early proposals made during the initial stages of the postponed Sixth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies proposed linking the City of London to the southern wards of Islington in a constituency to be known as "The City of London and Islington South".{{cite news |url=http://www.islingtongazette.co.uk/news/islington_parliamentary_boundaries_could_change_1_1020472 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130813181750/http://www.islingtongazette.co.uk/news/islington_parliamentary_boundaries_could_change_1_1020472 |url-status=dead |archive-date=13 August 2013 |title=Islington parliamentary boundaries could change |last=Brannen |first=Aimee |publisher=Islington Gazette |date=13 September 2011 }} Most of the Westminster wards were proposed to form part of a Westminster and Kensington constituency.{{cite news |url=http://westminster.londoninformer.co.uk/2011/09/boundary-changes-to-affect-wes.html |title=Boundary changes to affect Westminster |last=Eysenck |first=Juliet |publisher=Westminster Chronicle |date=13 September 2011}} This proposal was the first to suggest a split between the two Cities in Parliamentary elections since they were joined and proved unpopular in consultation; the Boundary Commission revised them to return the link between the City of London and the City of Westminster,{{cite web |url=http://www.parliament.uk/briefing-papers/SN06229.pdf |title=Constituency boundaries: the Sixth General Review in England |publisher=House of Commons Library |date=4 February 2013 |last1=White |first1=Isobel |last2=Johnston |first2=Neil |page=13}} although the review was subsequently placed on hiatus.

In 2016, the Boundary Commission produced a second attempt at the Sixth Periodic Review. Its proposed Cities of London and Westminster comprises the City attached to Regent's Park and Abbey Road to the north-west, Knightsbridge/Belgravia to the west, and Holborn/Covent Garden to the north.[https://boundarycommissionforengland.independent.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/RP-Cities-of-London-and-Westminster-BC-.pdf Cities of London and Westminster - Revised Proposal] Boundary Commission for England

Although united for Parliamentary elections, in the London Assembly, the City of London is covered by the City and East constituency, and the area in Westminster by the West Central constituency. The Local Government Commission for England argued that "combining the City of London with areas to its east could assist in focussing regeneration eastwards" and linked it with the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, the London Borough of Newham, and the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham.{{cite web |url=http://www.lgbce.org.uk/__documents/lgbce/all-reviews/south-east/greater-london/greater-london-authority/gla-greater-london-authority-draft-recs-aug1998.pdf |title=Draft Recommendations: Electoral Areas for the Assembly of the Greater London Authority |publisher=Local Government Commission for England |at=paragraph 73 |date=August 1998 }}{{dead link|date=December 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}

The seat covers the entire City of London and most of the City of Westminster lying South of the Marylebone Road and the Westway. In the latter, more residential, city it covers Westminster, Pimlico, Victoria, Belgravia, Knightsbridge, St. James's, Soho, most of Covent Garden, alongside parts of Fitzrovia, Marylebone, Edgware Road, Paddington and Bayswater.

1950–1974: From the Metropolitan Borough of Westminster: Charing Cross, Covent Garden, Great Marlborough Conduit, Grosvenor, Hamlet of Knightsbridge, Knightsbridge St. George, Pall Mall, Regent, St. Anne, St. John, St. Margaret, Strand.

In 1959, the boundaries changed, and the wards used instead were Abbey, Alderney, Aldwych, Berkeley, Cathedral, Churchill, Covent Garden, Dolphin, Eaton, Ebury, Grosvenor, Knightsbridge, Millbank, Regent Street, St. James's, Soho, Tachbrook, Victoria, Warwick and Wilton. In 1964, the City of Westminster was created to replace the old Metropolitan Borough of Westminster, which kept the same wards.

The City of London consisted of Aldersgate, Aldgate, Bassishaw, Bassishaw, Billingsgate, Bishopsgate, Bread Street, Bridge Within, Bridge Without, Broad Street, Candlewick, Castle Baynard, Cheap, Coleman Street, Cordwainer, Cornhill, Cripplegate, Dowgate, Farringdon Within, Farringdon Without, Langbourn, Lime Street, Portsoken, Queenhithe, Tower, Vintry and Walbrook.

In 1968, the City of Westminster ward boundaries changed, with the following used for this seat: Charing Cross, Churchill, Knightsbridge, Millbank, Regent Street, Victoria Street and Warwick.

1974–1997: The City of Westminster wards as above, and the City of London, as above.

New boundaries from 1978 meant the following wards from the City of Westminster were used: Baker Street, Belgrave, Bryanston, Cavendish, Churchill, Hyde Park, Knightsbridge, Millbank, St George's, St James's, Victoria, and West End.

In the City of London, Bridge Within and Bridge Without were combined in 1978 to create Bridge.

1997–2010: The City of Westminster wards as above, plus, Bayswater and Lancaster Gate, and the City of London.

In 2002, a Local Government Boundary Commission for England review abolished the Baker Street, Belgrave, Bryanston, Cavendish, Knightsbridge, Millbank, St James's and Victoria wards.{{cite web|url=http://www.election.demon.co.uk/wcc/map.html|title=Westminster City Council Ward Maps|last=Boothroyd|first=David|date=n.d.|website=Westminster City Council Election Results|publisher=David Boothroyd|access-date=31 October 2018|archive-date=6 April 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160406083152/http://www.election.demon.co.uk/wcc/map.html|url-status=dead}}

For the 2005 general election, the Westminster electoral wards used in this constituency were Bayswater (part), Bryanston and Dorset Square (part), Churchill, Hyde Park, Knightsbridge and Belgravia, Lancaster Gate, Marylebone High Street, St James's, Tachbrook, Vincent Square, Warwick and West End.{{cite web|url=https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/bdy_nolon_wards.html|title=North London Ward Breakdown|website=Electoral Calculus|access-date=4 December 2019}}

2010–2024: The City of Westminster wards of Bryanston and Dorset Square, Churchill, Hyde Park, Knightsbridge and Belgravia, Marylebone High Street, St James's, Tachbrook, Vincent Square, Warwick, and West End, and the City of London.

Following the 2023 periodic review of Westminster constituencies, which came into effect for the 2024 general election, the constituency is composed of the City of London and the following wards of the City of Westminster:

• Abbey Road; Hyde Park; Knightsbridge & Belgravia; Marylebone; Pimlico North; Pimlico South; Regent’s Park; St. James’s; Vincent Square; West End.{{Cite web |title=The Parliamentary Constituencies Order 2023 |url=https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2023/1230/schedules/made |at=Schedule 1 Part 3 London region}}

The new boundaries reflect the local authority boundary review which came into effect in May 2022. The seat was expanded to bring the electorate within the permitted range by adding the Abbey Road and Regent's Park wards which were previously in the abolished constituency of Westminster North.

The Cities of London and Westminster seat contains the two historical centres of the capital. The City of London is an international financial centre, while Westminster, home to the Buckingham Palace, Houses of Parliament, Whitehall and 10 Downing Street, represents Britain's political centre.

The seat includes iconic landmarks such as Buckingham Palace and St Paul's Cathedral, the West End's Theatreland and Soho. Some of the country's wealthiest residents live in exclusive Mayfair, Belgravia and Knightsbridge. Less than half the population was born in the UK - a fifth hail from elsewhere in Europe, while one in twenty is American, according to the 2011 Census.

Around half of the electorate are in the more socially mixed areas of Paddington and Pimlico, which includes some large council estates (Churchill Gardens and Millbank Estate).

The constituency also incorporates the wards of the City of London, some of which are the least populated wards in the United Kingdom, such as Coleman Street ward, which has a total electorate of 2, and Aldgate ward, which has a total electorate of 27.{{cite web|url=http://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/cgi-bin/seatdetails.py?seat=Cities+of+London+and+Westminster|title=Seat Details|website=www.electoralcalculus.co.uk}}
