Constituency Profile
Aside from a few council estates in areas such as Mottingham and Bromley Common, this constituency is relatively prosperous and suburban - the 2001 census also shows that the area is predominantly white. Until 2006 it was one of the Conservative party's safest seats, but the by-election of that year saw the party's electoral majority fall steeply from over 13,000 (in the 2005 election) to just over 600 votes (see below - "Election results").
