[edit] Boundaries

The parliamentary borough of Marylebone was established in 1832 and its area was part of the historic county of Middlesex. It was situated to the north of Westminster, with the Paddington area to the west, Hampstead to the north and St. Pancras to the east.

In 1885 the parliamentary borough was split into divisions. These were Marylebone East and Marylebone West.

In 1889 the parliamentary borough, for administrative purposes, became part of the County of London. In 1900 the civil vestries and local boards, which had provided local administration in London, were dissolved. The London Government Act 1899 incorporated various authorities in the Metropolitan Boroughs. St. Marylebone Parish became the Metropolitan Borough of St. Marylebone.

Since 1965 the area has been part of Greater London and the expanded City of Westminster.

[edit] Elections

Turnout, in multi-member elections, is estimated by dividing the number of votes by two. To the extent that electors did not use both their votes, the figure given will be an underestimate.

Change is calculated for individual candidates, when a party had more than one candidate in an election or the previous one. When a party had only one candidate in an election and the previous one change is calculated for the party vote.
