Covent Garden came within the area of responsibility of the Metropolitan Board of Works from 1855 and in 1889 became part of the County of London. Since 1965 Covent Garden falls within the London boroughs of Westminster and Camden, and is in the Parliamentary constituencies of Cities of London and Westminster and Holborn and St Pancras.[39] For local council elections it falls within the St James's ward for Westminster,[40] and the Holborn and Covent Garden ward for Camden.[41]
