The seat approximately covers the southern half of the Royal Borough of Greenwich.[3][4]
Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat will be subject to boundary changes which will incorporate the Borough of Bromley communities of Chislehurst and Mottingham. As a consequence, it will be renamed Eltham and Chislehurst, to be first contested at the next general election.[5]
