Richmond Park is a parliamentary constituency{{#tag:ref|A borough constituency (for the purposes of election expenses and type of returning officer)|group=n}} represented in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom since 2017 by Zac Goldsmith, of the Conservative Party.

The seat has been relative to others an ultra-marginal seat and swing seat since 2015 as its winner's majority has not exceeded 4.5% of the vote since the 38.9% majority won in that year. The seat has changed hands twice since that year as it saw a by-election in 2016 which was won by a Liberal Democrat as were previous elections from its 1997 creation until 2015.

History and profile

Richmond Park constituency was created in 1997 from Richmond and Barnes{{#tag:ref|last held by the Conservative Jeremy Hanley|group=n}} and a northern tranche of the Kingston upon Thames seat.{{#tag:ref|Held by the former Chancellor of the Exchequer Norman Lamont|group=n}} Jeremy Hanley, MP for Richmond and Barnes, was selected as the Conservative candidate for the seat's first election but lost to Jenny Tonge (Liberal Democrat). The seat was held by the Liberal Democrats until 2010, when it was gained by Zac Goldsmith, a Conservative.

In the 2016 referendum on the UK's membership of the European Union, the constituency is estimated to have voted to remain in the European Union by 72%.[1]

On 25 October 2016, Zac Goldsmith announced his resignation as the seat's MP in protest against the Conservative government's decision to allow a third runway to be built at Heathrow Airport. Goldsmith stood as an Independent candidate in the by-election held on 1 December, but was defeated by Sarah Olney, a Liberal Democrat, after the Conservative Party decided not to put forward its own candidate.[2] This was the first by-election in the constituency since its creation in 1997.

On 22 April 2017, Goldsmith won the Conservative nomination for Richmond Park and stood in the general election on 8 June, in which Olney also stood for re-election.[3] Despite having the largest vote share increase for the Liberal Democrats and one of the largest falls in majority between general elections in the country, Goldsmith regained the seat for the Conservatives with a significantly reduced majority of 45 votes.[4] This marked the shortest period of time that a defeated MP was out of office before regaining their seat.

Boundaries

1997–2010: The London Borough of Richmond upon Thames wards of Barnes; East Sheen; Ham and Petersham; Kew; Mortlake; Palewell; Richmond Hill; and Richmond Town, and the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames wards of Cambridge; Canbury; Coombe Hill; and Tudor.

2010–present: The London Borough of Richmond upon Thames wards of Barnes; East Sheen; Ham, Petersham and Richmond Riverside; Kew; Mortlake and Barnes Common; North Richmond; and South Richmond, and the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames wards of Canbury; Coombe Hill; Coombe Vale; and Tudor.

Richmond Park constituency stretches from Barnes in the north to Kingston upon Thames in the south, and includes the whole of East Sheen, Mortlake, Kew, Richmond, Petersham and Ham. The boundaries also include the Royal Park itself.

From Kingston Railway Bridge, the boundary follows the middle of the River Thames north (downstream) to Hammersmith Bridge and then southeast as far as Barn Elms. From here it is bounded by the outside of Putney Common and the houses east of Hallam Road and Dyers Lane. At the south end of Dyers Lane the boundary runs along the Upper Richmond Road westwards as far as the Beverley Brook which it then follows south to the northern wall of Richmond Park itself.{{#tag:ref|Thus east is Roehampton in the London Borough of Wandsworth and part of Putney seat|group=n}} The boundary then follows the wall of the park as far as the Robin Hood Gate on the A3 road and follows the Beverley Brook south, until it{{#tag:ref|Having included the residential section of the A3 at the Beverley Brook Interchange|group=n}} turns west after Malden Golf Course. It then cuts across the golf course to Coombe Road, Coombe Vale, New Malden until the South West Main Line just west of New Malden station. Then the boundary curves north to follow the Kingston branch of the railway line as far as the railway bridge over the River Thames.

This means that the constituency includes Coombe, Norbiton, and half of Kingston upon Thames.[5]

Fifth Boundary Review

As part of its Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the Boundary Commission{{#tag:ref|For the subregion used see South London|group=n}} made minor changes to re-align the constituency boundaries with the boundaries of the local government wards. This involved moving the entirety of the Beverley ward into Kingston and Surbiton. It had been split between the two constituencies after ward boundaries were changed in 2002. The public consultation on proposed changes across the boroughs of Kingston and Richmond received 11 submissions, of which ten were in support.[6][7] The new boundaries came into effect at the 2010 general election.
