Hendon North was a constituency in the former Municipal Borough of Hendon (later subsumed into the London Borough of Barnet) which returned one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It was created for the 1945 general election as the existing Hendon constituency was too large (the estimated electorate in 1941 was 217,900 [2]), and lasted until the 1997 general election when the London Borough of Barnet's Parliamentary representation was reduced from four seats to three.
Boundaries
1945–1974: The Municipal Borough of Hendon wards of Burnt Oak, Edgware, Mill Hill, and West Hendon.
1974–1997: The London Borough of Barnet wards of Burnt Oak, Colindale, Edgware, Hale, and Mill Hill.
