Boundary review
Following their review of parliamentary representation in South London, and as a consequence of changes to ward boundaries, the Boundary Commission for England recommended that part of Danson Park ward be transferred to Bexleyheath and Crayford from the constituency of Old Bexley and Sidcup; that part of Colyers ward be transferred from Erith and Thamesmead; and that parts of Lesnes Abbey ward, Belvedere ward, Northumberland Heath ward and Erith ward be transferred to Bexleyheath and Crayford from Erith and Thamesmead.
Constituency profile
Most of the seat consists of suburbs developed in the 20th century. There are four railway stations and many residents use these to commute to Central London. Bexleyheath is a large shopping and entertainment centre for the wider London Borough of Bexley.
Residents' health and wealth are in line with UK averages.
