Eltham and Chislehurst is a constituency of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament.[2] Created as a result of the 2023 review of Westminster constituencies, it was first contested at the 2024 general election, since when it has been represented by Clive Efford of the Labour Party. Efford had been the MP for the predecessor seat of Eltham from 1997 to 2024.
Constituency profile
Eltham and Chislehurst is a suburban constituency located in the south of London. It covers the neighbourhoods of Eltham, Chislehurst, Mottingham and parts of Blackheath. The area was rural before being developed in the interwar period. There is some deprivation in Eltham, whilst Chislehurst is affluent and falls within the 10% least-deprived areas in England.[3] House prices are below London averages but above nationwide averages.[4]
In general, residents of the constituency have average levels of education and professional employment. Household income is similar to the London average.[4] White people made up 71% of the population at the 2021 census. Black people were the largest ethnic minority group at 11% and Asians were 9%.[5] At the local council level, the north of the constituency closer to central London is represented by Labour Party councillors, whilst Chislehurst elected Conservatives and independents. An estimated 51% of voters in the constituency supported leaving the European Union in the 2016 referendum, similar to the nationwide figure and a higher rate than the rest of London.[4]
Boundaries
Under the 2023 boundary review, the constituency was defined as comprising the following wards as they existed on 1 December 2020:
