Extending Westminster North to include all the wards of the former boroughs of Paddington and St Marylebone would meet the new electoral quota.
These are Marybone's "Bryanston and Dorset Square" and "Marylebone High Street" wards and Paddington's "Hyde Park Ward"(that does not include Hyde Park).
I think that this would make a very neat constituency but should it be called Paddington & Marylebone or Westminster North?
There is no consistency in naming current London constituencies.
We have post-1965 borough names like Brent North and Westminster North that would be Wembley and Paddington on the basis that other constituencies are named.
We also have constituencies still named after the pre-1965 London boroughs such as Holborn & St Pancras that could be called Camden South. The one that makes no sense to me is Ilford North. This was the northern division of the old Ilford Borough but does not include Ilford. As the old Ilford borough became Redbridge by annexing Woodford should Ilford North not now be Redbridge North?

39 - UXBRIDGE AND HAYES (77455): Compared with the current Uxbridge and South Ruislip seat, it loses three wards to the previous seat and gains four: Barnhill, Botwell, Charville, Townfield. This means it includes most of the town of Hayes, hence the name change. Unfortunately Yeading cannot be accommodated and has to go in the Greenford seat (no. 37 above). Even so, I am very happy with this as a compact and well-defined constituency. I also relish the prospect of a Celebrity Deathmatch between BoJo and John McDonnell, although in practice I imagine they'd both take the chicken run to safer territory. Did the Evening Standard pay you for this?  Even Boris isn’t safe. His Uxbridge and South Ruislip constituency borders shadow chancellor John McDonnell’s in Hayes and Harlington, and wards may be in dispute between the two. “I relish the prospect of a Celebrity Deathmatch between BoJo and John McDonnell,” wrote one online commentator. As do we. |

Parks of Queen and Regent, one would hope How about 'Queen's and Regent's'? to follow a recent meandering which I'm sure was none of my doing if they extended to Liverpool and Glasgow you could have a Kings, Queens, Princes and Regent's Park constituency . There is a Princess Park estate in Barnet/Southgate but I don't think it is actually an area. |
