1978–2002[]
The ward of West End was created for the 1978 London borough council elections, returning two councillors. It was part of the City of London and Westminster South constituency.[2]
From 2002[]
There was a revision of ward boundaries in Westminster in 2002.[3]
For elections to Parliament, West End is part of the Cities of London and Westminster constituency.
It lies in the east of the borough, and its boundaries broadly cover the neighbourhoods of Mayfair and Soho, the southern part of Fitzrovia, and the south-eastern corner of Marylebone. The boundary to the south with ward is Shaftesbury Avenue, Piccadilly, and Hyde Park Corner. The boundary to the west with Knightsbridge & Belgravia ward is Park Lane. The boundary to the north with ward is Oxford Street and with ward is Oxford Street, Vere Street, Henrietta Place, Cavendish Square, Harley Street, and New Cavendish Street. The boundary with the London Borough of Camden is Cleveland Street, Goodge Street, Charlotte Place, Rathbone Street, Charlotte Street, Rathbone Place, Gresse Street, Hanway Street, Tottenham Court Road and Charing Cross Road.
Like all other wards of Westminster, West End is represented by three councillors on Westminster City Council. The last election was held on 3 May 2018, when all three councillors were elected. Since the ward's creation, all representatives had been elected for the Conservative Party; however, in 2018, the Labour Party gained its first councillor here. The ward is thus currently represented by two Conservatives and one Labour member.
