Marylebone West was a borough constituency located in the Metropolitan Borough of St Marylebone, in London. It returned one Member of Parliament to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, elected by the first past the post voting system.
The constituency was created under the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885, and was formerly part of the two-seat Marylebone constituency. It was abolished for the 1918 general election.
Boundaries
The previous Parliamentary borough of Marylebone was split up in the boundary review of 1884-85. The new Parliamentary borough consisted of the parish of St Marylebone, and therefore had identical boundaries to the St Marylebone Vestry which was the main institution of local government. The Commissioners divided the parish into two Divisions, each of which contained four of the parishes' eight wards. Marylebone West division was defined as containing the Bryanston, Hamilton Terrace, New Church Street, and Portman wards. The population in 1881 was 83,871.[1]
