London was a constituency of the European Parliament from 1999 until the UK exit from the European Union on 31 January 2020.

Between 2009 and 2020, it returned eight MEPs, using the D'Hondt method of party-list proportional representation.^[3]

Boundaries[]

The constituency corresponded to the Greater London region of England, in the south east of the United Kingdom.

History[]

Prior to 1999, London was represented by a number of single-member constituencies. These were London Central, London East, London North, London North East, London North West, London South East, London South Inner, London South West, London West, and parts of London South and Surrey East.

The European Parliamentary Elections Act 1999 reduced this to a single constituency returning a number of MEPs.

Returned members[]

Below are all the members since the creation of the London constituency. The number of seats allocated to London had been reduced from 10 to 8 between 1999 and 2009 due to EU enlargement. Members elected in 1999 who previously represented a London constituency were Pauline Green (London North, elected 1989) and Robert Evans (London North West, elected 1994).^[4]

Returned Members by seat[]

Seats allocated using d'Hondt method, in order. Transfers within parties between elections omitted for simplicity.
