Prior to its uniform adoption of proportional representation in 1999, the United Kingdom used first-past-the-post for the European elections in England, Scotland and Wales. The European Parliament constituencies used under that system were smaller than the later regional constituencies and only had one Member of the European Parliament each.

The Surrey West constituency was created for the 1984 European Parliament election. It consisted of the Westminster Parliament constituencies of Chertsey and Walton, Esher, Guildford, Mole Valley, North West Surrey, South West Surrey, and Woking. In 1984, the Daily Telegraph reported that the total electorate in the constituency numbered 504,923.

The constituency was abolished in time for the 1994 European Election and much of the area became part of the Surrey European Parliament Constituency.
