Boundaries
The constituency includes the town of Abingdon, the village of Kidlington, and the western and northern parts of the city of Oxford, as well as a minority of the colleges of the University of Oxford. From 1983 to 2010 it included Oxford city centre and most of the Oxford Colleges, but the 2010 boundary changes transferred these to Oxford East.
