The constituency includes the western portion of Bournemouth, from the Kinson, Ensbury Park, Alder Hills, Winton and Talbot Woods areas down towards the town centre and the West Cliff. Following a boundary change for the 2010 general election, the constituency gained the Branksome area from Poole whilst losing East Cliff to the neighbouring Bournemouth East constituency.

The constituency contains Labour's best ward in Bournemouth in the district of Kinson, but the seat has elected Conservatives at every election since its creation in 1950; therefore it is considered a Conservative safe seat.

With the exception of the period 1983–1997 (when it was in Bournemouth East), Bournemouth Town Centre has been in this constituency since its creation in 1950.
