Heston and Isleworth (/ˈaɪzəlwərθ/) was a constituency between 1945 and 1974 for the House of Commons of the UK Parliament. It contained Heston, Hounslow, Isleworth and Osterley in Middlesex which became parts of outer west London in 1965.
Its candidates returned were Conservative except for siding with the Labour Party's landslide victory which returned the Attlee Ministry (in 1945). Conservative Richard Reader Harris saw a slim 2.25% majority at the 1966 election which saw the start of the Second Wilson Ministry.
The Municipal Borough of Heston and Isleworth (after 1965: London Borough of Hounslow) local government wards of Heston, Hounslow Central, Hounslow South, Hounslow West, Isleworth North, Isleworth South, and Spring Grove. All wards other than Heston constitute two adjoining former towns (London districts): Hounslow and Isleworth. The name 'Heston' was included to recollect the medieval hundred of Heston and Isleworth.
