Twickenham is a constituency in Greater London[n 1] represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2019 by Munira Wilson of the Liberal Democrats.

The seat was one of very few in Britain that gave the Liberal Democrats a majority of votes in the 2005 and 2010 elections, being their sixth best performance nationally in 2010.

[n 3] Cable was Secretary of State for Business from 2010 to 2015, but unexpectedly lost his seat to the Conservative candidate Tania Mathias in the 2015 general election during the nationwide collapse in the Liberal Democrat vote.

[3] In 2017, turnout was 79.7%, the highest for any seat in the UK, ahead of Oxford West and Abingdon gained by the same party.

[10] Further to the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, which came into effect for the 2024 general election, the Whitton ward was transferred to Brentford and Isleworth, in order to bring the electorate within the permitted range.

Workless claimants, registered jobseekers, were in November 2012 significantly lower in Twickenham than the national average of 3.8%, at 1.7% of the population based on a statistical compilation by The Guardian.
