Brentford and Isleworth is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election.

Contents

Boundaries

The constituency is located in suburban West London on the north of the Thames, encompassing the neighbourhoods of Chiswick, Isleworth, Brentford, Osterley and most of Hounslow.

The constituency covers the eastern half of the London Borough of Hounslow, containing ten wards thereof: Chiswick Homefields, Chiswick Riverside, Turnham Green, Brentford, Isleworth, Syon, Osterley & Spring Grove, Hounslow Central, Hounslow South, and Hounslow Heath.

The Hounslow side of the constituency is strong for Labour, in sharp contrast to neighbouring wards which fall in the Twickenham or Richmond Park constituencies and which return large Liberal Democrat majorities. It is in the east of the constituency, the three Chiswick wards in particular, that the Conservatives are strongest. Chiswick has a higher number of professionals and much desirable housing. The wards of Osterley & Spring Grove and Hounslow South are more marginal. As a result of this, the seat can be considered a three-way marginal between the main parties.

Members of Parliament

The constituency was created in 1974, mostly replacing the former seat of Brentford and Chiswick. Formerly a Tory seat, it has been held by Labour since 1997.
