Swiss Cottage was a ward in the London Borough of Camden, in the United Kingdom. The ward was first created for the 1971 election, redrawn in 1978 and 2002, and abolished for the 2022 elections. [1] [2] [3] The population of this ward at the 2011 Census was 12,900. [4]
Swiss Cottage ward was a long, thin ward centred on the intersection between Avenue Road and Finchley Road at Swiss Cottage. To the west of the intersection, it included South Hampstead. To the south-east, it included the northern part of St John's Wood and western part of Primrose Hill.
Under its previous form, Swiss Cottage covered just South Hampstead, while the former Adelaide ward covered the parts of the ward the east of Finchley Road (including Ye Olde Swiss Cottage itself). The ward was abolished for the 2022 election and its area was divided between the newly created Primrose Hill and South Hampstead wards. [5] [6]
Notable former councillors include Andrew Marshall (former Leader of the Conservative Group on Camden Council), Gloria Lazenby (former Labour Mayor of Camden), Tony Kerpel (political adviser who served as the personal assistant to Prime Minister Edward Heath), [7] [8] [9] and former Labour cabinet minister Tessa Jowell. In 2002, Swiss Cottage elected Camden's first Jamaican councillor, Don Williams. [10]
Three councillors represented Swiss Cottage ward between 1978 and 2022. [3]
