Boundary changes: Loses parts of Hounslow West, Heston Central and Heston East to Feltham and Heston.
Profile: A long seat that snakes along the north bank of the Thames, opposite Barnes and Kew Gardens. This is a mixed seat that changes as follows the Thames west, from upmarket and now reliably Conservative Chiswick, a mix of residential and office areas, home of the Fullers Brewery and popular with young urban professionals; past Gunnersbury and the council estates around Brentford Towers into the lower quality housing and more mixed areas of Brentford. There are large green spaces here around Osterley Park House and Syon House and Tory areas like Spring Grove, but moving south-west it becomes better for Labour. Isleworth was once considered a Conservative area but there is a far amount of council housing around the sewage works here and, moving westwards into Hounslow a large asian population.
In 1997 and 2001 Labour securing towering five figure majorities here, but it slumped to only 4411 in 2005 before falling to the Conservatives in 2010, something of a return to form for a seat that had been held by the Conservatives since it`s creation in 1974 (albeit often very marginally) having formerly been represented by Nirj Deva, now a Conservative MEP.
