Since the 2019 general election, it has been represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament by James Murray of Labour Co-op.

From the February 1974 to 2005 general elections inclusive, it was a Labour-Conservative marginal, being won by the party forming the government, and thus a bellwether.

1974–1983: The London Borough of Ealing wards of Brent, Cleveland, Horsenden, Mandeville, Perivale, Ravenor, and West End.

For the 2010 general election, under the national Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the Boundary Commission for England made minor changes to Ealing North.

Parts of Ealing Broadway and Hanger Hill wards were moved to the new Ealing Central and Acton so the latter came into existence to avoid its forerunner's mention of Shepherd Bush and avoid its containing much of that part of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham.
