Maidenhead is a constituency in Berkshire that includes several towns and villages such as Bray, Wargrave, Sonning, Twyford, and Binfield. The district sits within the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, covering both urban areas and countryside along the Thames.
The constituency came into being in 1997 through a reorganization of the former Windsor and Maidenhead and Wokingham districts. This change brought new boundaries and reshaped the political map of the region.

The area offers direct train services to London and Reading, making it accessible for commuters. Future integration with the Crossrail project will improve connections even further.
Theresa May represented this seat for nearly three decades until Joshua Reynolds from the Liberal Democrats won in 2024. The shift marked a major political change in what had been a traditionally conservative stronghold.
