Hendon South (UK Parliament Constituency)
Hendon South was a constituency in the former Municipal Borough of Hendon (later subsumed into the London Borough of Barnet) which returned one Member of Parliament to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It was created for the 1945 general election, when the existing Hendon constituency was split into two parts, and abolished for the 1997 general election.
The constituency included the wards of Childs Hill, Golders Green, Hampstead Garden Suburb, and West Hendon. At the 1997 redistribution the wards of Childs Hill, Golders Green, and Hampstead Garden Suburb were transferred to the new constituency of Finchley and Golders Green along with wards from the old Finchley constituency, while West Hendon was transferred to the new Hendon constituency.

“I need not tell you of the inadequacy of the American shipping marine on the Pacific Coast.... For this reason it seems to me that there is no subject to which Congress can better devote its attention in the coming session than the passage of a bill which shall encourage our merchant marine in such a way as to establish American lines directly between New York and the eastern ports and South American ports, and both our Pacific Coast ports and the Orient and the Philippines.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“A Parliament is that to the Commonwealth which the soul is to the body.... It behoves us therefore to keep the facility of that soul from distemper.”
—John Pym (1584–1643)
