London West was created in 1966. In 1996 boundaries were redrawn to take in part of London East and London-Middlesex. There have been no changes since.
Statistics Canada (2005 and 2006) data describes London West this way: population of 118,335. The median age is 40 and 83% of the population is age 15 or older. There are 49,290 households in the riding and the median household income is $56,859. One-third of private residences are apartments and two-thirds are houses (row houses, detached houses, and semi-detached houses).
In the October 2008 election there were 91,711 electors registered in London West. Of these, 63% (57,908) voted making the riding one of the strongest voter turnout areas in southwest Ontario. Ed Holder, running on behalf of the Conservative Party of Canada, won the election with 39% of the votes (22,556 votes).
