It was created for the 1945 general election, when the Hendon seat was split into two, and abolished for the 1997 general election, with Childs Hill, Garden Suburb, and Golders Green wards going to Finchley and Golders Green, along with wards from Finchley. Hendon and West Hendon wards were transferred to a new constituency: Hendon.
