Boundaries

The constituency incorporates the eastern-most section of the London Borough of Ealing (covering Ealing and Acton) as well as the northern part of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham (covering Shepherd's Bush and White City).

The Boundary Commission's proposed boundary changes, likely to be implemented in time for the next general election (2009 or 2010), will see the end of the constituency as it is presently composed. The section falling within the London Borough of Ealing will be combined with parts of central Ealing to create a new Ealing Central and Acton constituency whilst the area falling within the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham (namely Shepherd's Bush) will be combined with the northern part of the current Hammersmith and Fulham constituency to create a new Hammersmith constituency.
