The constituency is composed of the following wards of the London Borough of Newham (as they existed on 1 December 2020):[4]
- Canning Town (North and South), Custom House, Plaistow (North and South) and West Ham from the abolished West Ham constituency.
- Beckton and Royal Docks from East Ham.
Following a local government boundary review which came into effect in May 2022,[5][6] the constituency now comprises the following wards of the London Borough of Newham from the 2024 general election:
- Beckton; Canning Town North; Canning Town South; Custom House; Plaistow North (most); Plaistow South; Plaistow West and Canning Town East; Royal Albert; Royal Victoria; West Ham; and a very small part of Green Street West.[7]
Constituency profile
The population of Newham has grown significantly in the 21st century[8] so its represention increased from two seats to three in the 2023 boundary review. This seat includes the extensive low-rise suburbs of West Ham and Plaistow, and dockside areas closer to the Thames, including the Royal Docks which have undergone regeneration since the 1980s including the completion of newer apartment blocks. The University of East London, Excel Centre, London City Airport and City Hall are in the seat.
