In the constituency’s south, upscale mansions line streets among the most prosperous in the world. Walk northwards, and these luxury homes butt up against crowded housing estates. This deep social divide often translates into razor-thin electoral margins. The seat - redrawn to include Bayswater as part of last year’s boundary review - was among the most marginal in the country in the 2019 general election, where the Conservatives edged ahead of Labour by just 150 votes...
