History

This represented the northern half of the earlier Uxbridge constituency which was divided into two following house-building in the area in 1950.

Ruislip-Northwood was a constituency that as such covered slightly elevated and gently hilly outskirts of West London, beginning 12 miles (19 km) WNW of Charing Cross.[1]

All three of its successive Members of Parliament were Old Etonians and as the majorities they received were non-marginal, with their contributions the seat was throughout its elections a safe seat.

Almost all of its area has been succeeded by Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner.
