Constituency profile

Straddling the Western Avenue and directly south of Harrow, Ealing North occupies the north-western part of the London Borough of Ealing.

History

From the February 1974 to 2005 general elections inclusive, it was a Labour-Conservative marginal, being won by the party forming the government, and thus a bellwether. Since 1997, is on the length of tenure measure (but not necessarily extent of majority) a "safe" Labour seat. The party's newly selected candidate for MP in 2019 came 12,269 votes ahead of the Conservative candidate, a majority of almost 25% of the votes cast.

Boundaries redrawn in 2010

Per its review of parliamentary representation in North London under the national Fifth review, the Boundary Commission for England saw made minor changes to Ealing North. Part of Greenford Broadway ward, along with tiny parts of Hobbayne; and Dormers Wells wards were transferred to Ealing Southall. Tiny parts of the latter two wards were exchanged in return. Parts of Ealing Broadway and Hanger Hill wards were moved to the new Ealing Central and Acton so the latter came into existence to avoid its forerunner's mention of Shepherd Bush and avoid its containing much of that part of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham.

Minor loss to align boundaries with those of new local authority wards.
