Kensington and Chelsea is a Constituency represented in the House Of Commons of the Parliament Of The United Kingdom .


BOUNDARIES

The constituency covers the central and southern portions of the Royal Borough Of Kensington And Chelsea , covering the centres of both Kensington and Chelsea .

Following their review into parliamentary boundaries in North London , the Boundary Commission have created two new constituencies based on the existing Kensington & Chelsea.

The northern section (namely Earl's Court, South Kensington, High Street Kensington and Holland Park) will be combined with the southern section of the current Regent's Park & Kensington North Constituency (including Ladbroke Grove and Notting Hill ) to create a new Kensington Constituency whilst the southern part (namely Chelsea) will be combined with the southern half of the current Hammersmith & Fulham Constituency to create a new Chelsea And Fulham seat.


HISTORY

The seat first came into existence at the 1997 General Election . As a result of its affluence, Kensington & Chelsea is considered to be one of the safest Conservative seats in the country (BBC News, 2005).
