The original Maida Vale ward, created in 1964, was larger in size and elected five councillors.[3] For the May 1978 election, the ward was split into two: Maida Vale and Little Venice, each electing three councillors. There were minor boundary changes in 2002 and 2022.
The ward currently returns three councillors to Westminster City Council, with an election every four years. At the last election in May 2022, three candidates from the Labour Party were elected to represent the ward.
