Bethnal Green South West (UK Parliament constituency)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bethnal Green South West was a constituency consisting of the south and west wards of the civil parish of Bethnal Green, Middlesex (later a metropolitan borough in the County of London). The constituency returned one Member of Parliament to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
It was created for the 1885 general election and abolished for the 1950 general election, when it was combined with Bethnal Green North East to form a new Bethnal Green constituency, reflecting the area's substantial fall in population.
