Hendon is a London suburb in the Borough of Barnet, 7 miles (11 km) northwest of Charing Cross. Hendon was an ancient parish in the county of Middlesex and has been part of Greater London since 1965. Hendon had a population of 52,972 in 2011 and includes the Hendon, Hendon West and Colindale wards.
History
Hendon was historically a civil parish in the county of Middlesex. The manor is described in Domesday (1087), but the name 'Hendun' – meaning 'at the highest hill' – is of earlier origin. Evidence of Roman settlement was discovered by members of the Hendon and District Archaeological Society and others; an urn burial of a headless child was found in Sunny Hill Park. The Midland Railway and the Great Northern Railways were built through Hendon in the 1860s. The underground (Northern line) arrived at Golders Green to the south in 1907, the line being extended to Hendon Central, Colindale and Edgware in 1923/24.
Hendon /ˈhɛndᵿn/ is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament. since 2010 by Matthew Offord of the Conservative Party.
History
First creation
The constituency was originally created for the 1918 General Election. By 1941 the estimated electorate was the largest at 217,900. and the constituency was divided into two parts (Hendon North and Hendon South) for the 1945 general election.
Second creation
In the boundary change legislation passed to implement the Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies before the 1997 General Election the London Borough of Barnet's Parliamentary representation was reduced from four seats to three and the Hendon North constituency was combined with a northern part of the Hendon South constituency. Although this new seat re-adopted the name Hendon, this version is smaller, as a south-eastern swathe of Hendon South was then placed in the new seat, Finchley and Golders Green. Within 10% of the average electorate, the new seat avoided malapportionment that would otherwise exist by way of two under-sized constituencies.
