Abstract

The Social Democratic Federation (S.D.F.) was one of the founding elements of the Labour party in Britain. Many activists who would later become prominent in the labour movement and parliamentary politics obtained their introduction to political life through the S.D.F. This article aims to provide a membership profile of the London region, an area where the S.D.F. had some influence. The data gathered make possible an analysis of the branch size and turnover as well as of gender, age and occupational structure. They also illustrate in general the development of the socialist and labour movement of the capital in this period.
