Lewisham
The London Borough of Lewisham is a London borough in south-east London, England and forms a part of Inner London. The borough wascreated in 1965, by the London Government Act 1963, as an amalgamation of the former area of the Metropolitan Borough of Lewisham and the Metropolitan Borough of Deptford, which had been established in 1900 as divisions of the County of London. However, minor boundary adjustments 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.

It's enclosed by the Royal Borough of Greenwich to the east, the London Borough of Bromley to the south as well as the London Borough of Southwark towards the west. The River Thames forms a short section of northern boundary together with the Isle of Dogs within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Deptford Creek, Pool River, River Quaggy and River Ravensbourne pass by means of the borough.
