The seat has been confined throughout to the western electoral half of the London Borough of Hounslow. Its main predecessor seat was Feltham comprising Feltham, Bedfont, Hanworth, Hounslow Heath and Cranford; the other direct forerunner Heston & Isleworth contributed its former westernmost settlements: Heston and Hounslow West. Before 1945 about half of the present area and half of its then-population were in the Twickenham seat (formed in 1885), the remainder, Feltham, Hanworth and Bedfont were in the Spelthorne seat (formed in 1918 from the southern part of Uxbridge (UK Parliament constituency)).
