Metropolitan Borough of Bermondsey

Created 1900 by the London Government Act 1899, and abolished in 1965, becoming part of the London Borough of Southwark. The borough replaced the parish vestries of Bermondsey and Rotherhithe, and the St Olave District Board of Works (consisting of the two parishes of St John Horsleydown and Southwark St Olave and St Thomas) The town hall was on Spa Road, SE16, and was bombed during World War 2. After the war a neighbouring building was used and this is now used as offices for Southwark Council.
