History
[edit]Since 1945, the boundaries of the seat have been similar to those of the abolishedMunicipal Borough of Twickenham.
From 1931 until 1983, Twickenham was asafe seatof theConservative Partyand from 1983 until 1997 amarginal seatfor that party.
Liberal DemocratVince Cablegained the seat during the1997 landslide Conservative defeatand held it until 2015. The seat was one of very few in Britain that gave the Liberal Democrats amajorityof votes in the 2005 and 2010 elections, being their sixth best performance nationally in 2010.[n 3]Cable wasSecretary of State for Businessfrom 2010 to 2015, but unexpectedly lost his seat to the Conservative candidateTania Mathiasin the2015 general electionduring the nationwide collapse in the Liberal Democrat vote.
Cable regained the seat in the2017 snap electionby a 14.8% majority and an absolute majority at 52.8% of the vote; this was the highest vote percentage for the Liberal Democrats in any constituency nationally.[2]
The seat has in the 21st century had notably high turnouts. At the 2015 general election, it had the highest turnout in England and the fourth highest in the UK.[3]In 2017, turnout was 79.7%, the highest for any seat in the UK, ahead ofOxford West and Abingdongained by the same party.[4][5]The seat of Twickenham has also been won by the same party as the neighbouring seat ofKingston and Surbitonin all seven elections they have been in (6 Lib Dem, 1 Conservative).
In December 2023, theLabour Partyincluded the seat in its published list of 211 non-battleground seats, suggesting they did not see it as winnable.[6]

Further to the2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies,which came into effect for the2024 general election,theWhittonward was transferred toBrentford and Isleworth,in order to bring the electorate within the permitted range.[11]
The seat covers the majority of the south western half of theLondon Borough of Richmond,that part of the borough on the north bank of theRiver Thames.[n 4]It chiefly contains the towns or London districts ofTwickenham,Hampton,andTeddington.Smaller sub-localities by order of commercial activity areHampton Hill,Hampton Wick,St Margarets,Fulwell,Strawberry HillandHampton Courthamlet proper.[n 5]Features includesHampton Court Palace,Bushy Park(one of theRoyal Parks of London), and theRugby Football Union's national ground,Twickenham Stadium.
History of boundaries
[edit]- 1918–1945
During this period the Hamptons (Hampton, Hampton Hill, Hampton Court and Hampton Wick) and Teddington were excluded from the seat, which instead contained two urban districts to the north of subsequent boundaries,IsleworthandHounslow,an area at the time with key economic sectors of construction, brewing, warehousing and goods transportation. As such these areas had some support for theLabour Party,who in their best result in the seat, lostthe 1929 by-election in the seatby 503 votes (1.6% of the vote).
- 1945–date
In 1945, the area saw as an unusual corollary to its shift southwards, theswingnationally, of +11.7% (Con-to-Lab) converted in the more strongly middle-class redefined seat to a major cut in the 24%Conservativemajority[n 6]swinging −15.3% to aLiberalopponent, George Granville Slack. In February 1974 and from 1979 until seizing victory in 1997, the runner-up party became the Liberal Party or their successor, theLiberal Democratsand the ward boundaries became only slightly adjusted to reflect changes made in the borderlines made at the local level of government.
Constituency profile
[edit]As described by the boundaries, the area enjoys substantial parkland andThamesidelandscapes, coupled with a variety of commuter train services toCentral Londonincluding semi-fast services fromTwickenhamitself toLondon Waterloo.
Twickenham is the only constituency situated entirely within theLondon Borough of Richmond upon Thamesand, as such, is made up completely of middle-classsuburbia,similar to the neighbouring constituencies ofKingston & Surbiton,Richmond Park(both in Greater London) andEsher & WaltoninSurrey.Workless claimants, registered jobseekers, were in November 2012 significantly lower in Twickenham than the national average of 3.8%, at 1.7% of the population based on a statistical compilation byThe Guardian.[12]
