Shoreditch and Finsbury (UK Parliament constituency)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shoreditch and Finsbury was a parliamentary constituency centred on the Shoreditch district of the East End of London and the adjacent and Finsbury area. It returned one Member of Parliament to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
The constituency was created for the 1950 general election, partially replacing the previous Shoreditch and Finsbury constituencies, which had seen a significant fall in population.
Shoreditch and Finsbury was itself abolished for the February 1974 general election, when its territory was divided betwen two new constituencies: Islington South & Finsbury and Hackney South & Shoreditch.
