The Glasgow City Council wards of Anniesland, Blairdardie, Drumry, Hayburn, Jordanhill, Knightswood Park, Knightswood South, Scotstoun, Summerhill, Victoria Park, and Yoker.
Glasgow North West is one of seven constituencies covering the Glasgow City council area. All are entirely within the city area.

Constituency profile
This formerly safe Labour constituency lies on the north bank of the River Clyde. It is a seat of contrasts, taking in affluent areas of the City of Glasgow such as Jordanhill and Scotstoun, as well as more deprived areas such as the Drumchapel housing estate.
