Woolwich East (UK Parliament constituency)

Woolwich East (UK Parliament constituency)

Woolwich East was a parliamentary constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1918 until 1983. It was based around Woolwich, now in the London Borough of Greenwich in south-east London.

The constituency was formed in 1918, when the constituency of Woolwich was divided into Woolwich East and Woolwich West, and abolished in 1983 when the two halves were reunited.

Throughout its 65-year existence, the constituency elected Labour MPs with the sole exception of a Conservative elected in a 1921 by-election.
