Lewisham
The London Borough of Lewisham is a London borough in south-east London, England and forms part of Inner London. The borough wasformed in 1965, by the London Government Act 1963, as an amalgamation of the former location of the Metropolitan Borough of Lewisham plus the Metropolitan Borough of Deptford, which had been created in 1900 as divisions of the County of London. However, minor boundary changes have occurred since its creation. One of the most significant amendments were made in 1996, when the previous area of the Royal Docks in Deptford was transferred from the London Borough of Greenwich.
The principal settlement in the borough is Lewisham. The borough covers an overall area of about 13.57 square miles. It is surrounded by the Royal Borough of Greenwich to the east, the London Borough of Bromley towards the south and also the London Borough of Southwark towards the west. The River Thames forms a short section of northern boundary with the Isle of Dogs inside the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Deptford Creek, Pool River, River Quaggy and River Ravensbourne pass by way of the borough.
According to population estimates produced during 2014, Lewisham is a borough with around 291933 permanent residents. Around 43 per cent of households are owner-occupiers. The Prime Meridian passes through Lewisham. Blackheath, Goldsmiths, University of London and Millwall F.C. are situated within the borough.
