Kingston and Surbiton (/ˈkɪŋstən ənd ˈsɜːrbɪtən/) is a constituency[a] in Greater London created in 1997 and represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament[b] since 2017 by Ed Davey, the Leader of the Liberal Democrats.

Former Chancellor of the Exchequer Norman Lamont represented Kingston from a by-election in 1972 until the 1997 general election, when he was not selected as the Conservative candidate for either of its replacements.

Instead, the incumbent Surbiton MP Richard Tracey was selected, while Lamont unsuccessfully contested Harrogate and Knaresborough in North Yorkshire.

In the event, Tracey was defeated by the Liberal Democrat candidate Ed Davey by the very narrow margin of 56 votes.

[2] Davey held on to the seat until the general election of 2015, when he was defeated by the Conservative James Berry during the national Liberal Democrat vote collapse.

[4] Davey, now knighted, regained the seat for the Liberal Democrats in the 2017 general election with the eighth largest vote share increase for the party nationally.
