Carshalton (UK Parliament constituency)


Carshalton was a constituency combining with areas to the south-west, then to the east instead, Carshalton which is a suburb on a long, north-south hillside south of London. The latter form saw it take up an eastern "half" of the London Borough of Sutton. It returned one Member of Parliament to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
It was created for the 1945 general election having been the south-west of "Mitcham" and on shedding Banstead in 1974 it gained what had been the south-east of the Mitcham seat, then was abolished for the 1983 general election, when it was replaced by Carshalton and Wallington, a nearly identical eastern set of 13 wards of its solely related local government area.
