Eltham (/ˈɛltəm/ EL-təm) was a constituency[n 1] in Greater London created in 1983 and represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament from 1997 until its abolition for the 2024 general election by Clive Efford of the Labour Party.[n 2]
The seat broadly covered the southern half of the Royal Borough of Greenwich.[3][4]
Under the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat was subject to boundary changes which incorporated the Borough of Bromley communities of Chislehurst and Mottingham. As a consequence, it was replaced by Eltham and Chislehurst, first contested at the 2024 general election.[5]
