History
This represented the northern half of the earlier Uxbridge constituency which was divided into two following house-building in the area in 1950.
Ruislip-Northwood was constituency that as such covered slightly elevated and gently hilly outskirts of West London, beginning 12 miles (19 km) WNW of Charing Cross.
All three of its successive Members of Parliament were Old Etonians and as the majorities they received were non-marginal, with their contributions the seat was throughout its elections a safe seat.
Almost all of its area has been succeeded by Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner.
