Carshalton (UK Parliament constituency)

Parliamentary constituency in the United Kingdom, 1945–1983


Carshalton was a constituency combining with areas to the south-west, then to the east instead, Carshalton which is a suburb on a long, north–south hillside south of London. The latter form saw it take up an eastern "half" (i.e. one of two divisions) of the London Borough of Sutton. It returned one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
