List of parliamentary constituencies in Surrey

The ceremonial county of Surrey is divided into 11 parliamentary constituencies which are wholly within the county boundaries. In addition, there are two constituencies which cross the county boundary - one with Hampshire (Farnham and Bordon) and one with Berkshire (Windsor). These are sub-classified into three of borough type and ten of county status affecting the level of expenses permitted and status of the returning officer.

The county saw the vast bulk of its population and seats removed on the creation of the County of London in 1889 and its wider replacement the county of Greater London in 1965.

Reflecting its mainly suburban and rural nature, all seats covering the present definition of Surrey have been held by Conservative MPs at each general election since 1885, with the exception of two Liberals in 1906, one Liberal Democrat in 2001 and six Liberal Democrats in 2024.

2010 boundary changes

Under the Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the Boundary Commission for England decided to retain the existing 11 constituencies in Surrey, with only very minor changes to four of them.

Name	Boundaries 1997–2010	Boundaries 2010–present
East Surrey CC Epsom and Ewell BC Esher and Walton BC Guildford CC Mole Valley CC Reigate BC Runnymede and Weybridge CC South West Surrey CC Spelthorne BC Surrey Heath CC Woking CC	Parliamentary constituencies in Surrey	Proposed Revision

2024 boundary changes

See 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies for further details.

Former name	Boundaries 2010–2024	Current name	Boundaries 2024–present
East Surrey CC Epsom and Ewell BC Esher and Walton BC Guildford CC Mole Valley CC Reigate BC Runnymede and Weybridge CC South West Surrey CC Spelthorne BC Surrey Heath CC Woking CC	Proposed Revision	Dorking and Horley CC East Surrey CC Epsom and Ewell BC Esher and Walton BC Farnham and Borden CC Godalming and Ash CC Guildford CC Reigate CC Runnymede and Weybridge CC Spelthorne BC Surrey Heath CC Windsor CC Woking CC

For the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, which redrew the constituency map ahead of the 2024 United Kingdom general election, the Boundary Commission for England opted to combine Surrey with Berkshire and Hampshire as a sub-region of the South East Region. As a result, the majority of the abolished constituency of South West Surrey was combined with parts of the current constituency of East Hampshire to form a new cross-county boundary constituency named Farnham and Bordon. The remainder of South West Surrey was combined with parts of Guildford, Mole Valley and Surrey Heath to form the new constituency of Godalming and Ash. The communities of Englefield Green and Virginia Water in the borough of Runnymede were included in the Berkshire constituency of Windsor. Following changes to Mole Valley, this constituency was renamed Dorking and Horley.

The following constituencies were proposed:

Containing electoral wards from Elmbridge

• Esher and Walton
• Runnymede and Weybridge (part)

Containing electoral wards from Epsom and Ewell

• Epsom and Ewell (part)

Containing electoral wards from Guildford

• Guildford
