Henley

Henley is a constituency in Oxfordshire represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2008 by John Howell, a member of the Conservative Party.
The seat has throughout its history been confined to a well-connected part of the Chiltern Hills AONB interspersed by the small towns of Thame and Chinnor and a narrow more developed area adjoining the Thames on one bank. Its economy, interconnected with London, Oxford and in the far south Reading, ensures a high rate of employment and its natural environment attracts retirees and high income owners. It has a high-speed connection to London Marylebone at Haddenham & Thame Parkway, with a further rail connection to London Paddington from Goring & Streatley and from Henley-on-Thames to London Paddington via Twyford. For most of its history the constituency has limited itself to one mainly rural land-use local authority, South Oxfordshire. Since 2010 two local government wards of demographically alike Cherwell district have been placed within the boundaries.
