Boundaries
The constituency covers the central part of Newcastle upon Tyne, being one of three constituencies in the city. Between 1983 and 2010, the seat did not actually contain the city's commercial centre, as it was covered by the Tyne Bridge constituency, which also covered parts of Gateshead. Boundary changes taking effect at the 2010 general election remove this anomaly, with the city centre being divided between this seat and Newcastle upon Tyne East.
The constituency is formed from eight electoral wards: Benwell and Scotswood, Blakelaw, Elswick, Fenham, Kenton, Westgate, West Gosforth, and Wingrove.
