Putney covers a broad part of the London Borough of Wandsworth along the south bank of the River Thames. It includes Putney, Roehampton and surrounding residential neighbourhoods. Putney is a major local town and transport centre, while Roehampton has a more residential and institutional character. The Thames, Putney Heath and nearby commons provide unusually large areas of open space for an inner-London constituency. Rail, Underground and bus routes connect the seat with central London and neighbouring districts. The constituency is predominantly urban and suburban, but its riverside setting and extensive green spaces give it a distinctive physical character.
Election data comes from UK Parliament. Turnout percentage is calculated by Project Open Gov from Parliament's turnout and electorate figures.

Household composition
A broad view of household types in this constituency. Project Open Gov uses the four broad groups supplied by the Commons Library so the presentation remains consistent across the UK.
46,342 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households30.0% · 13,911 households
Families with dependent children26.7% · 12,394 households
Other single-family households30.7% · 14,213 households
Other household types12.6% · 5,824 households
Household-composition figures come from the Commons Library constituency dataset. The source uses census data and Project Open Gov displays its broad household groups rather than attempting to harmonise the detailed categories itself. View household-composition source ↗
Disability and day-to-day activities
The source records whether day-to-day activities are limited and uses separate person-level tables for England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
111,320 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot4.7% · 5,184 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little7.1% · 7,943 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act88.2% · 98,193 people
Comparison note: the workbook uses different source terminology across the UK: England & Wales uses “Disabled under the Equality Act”, while Scotland and Northern Ireland use “Disabled” / “Non-disabled”. Project Open Gov therefore preserves the source categories and does not present them as one single like-for-like UK legal definition.
Disability figures come from the Commons Library constituency workbook. This profile uses the person-level tables only; the workbook also contains separate household-level disability tables which are not used here. View disability source ↗
