According to the formulas on which the government calculate local government grants, Westminster is one of the most deprived local authorities in the country. It is true that there is a lot of privately rented accommodation in multi-occupied buildings, many single-person households, and very low levels of car ownership, but on no sensible judgement is this area desperately poor. Westminster contains London's West End and many of the capital's main tourist attractions. The poorer and most Labour-inclined portion of the London Borough of Westminster lies to the north in the new constituency of Regents Park and Kensington North, which Labour will hope to win. The balance is joined with the City of London, an administrative anachronism at heart of London, over which the City's Lord Mayor rules with dotty medieval ritual. There are Labour areas, especially in the council estates of Pimlico, but on balance, the voters of Mayfair, Belgravia and Marylebone remain true blue and the Cities of London and Westminster is a safe Conservative seat.
