Southwark
The London Borough of Southwark in south London, England forms a part of Inner London and is connected by bridges across the River Thames to the City of London. It was formed in 1965 when three smaller council places amalgamated under the London Government Act 1963. This included the former area of the Metropolitan Borough of Southwark, the Metropolitan Borough of Camberwell, and also the Metropolitan Borough of Bermondsey. It is controlled by Southwark London Borough Council.
It borders the City of London and the London Borough of Tower Hamlets towards the north, with the River Thames forming the boundary, the London Borough of Lambeth to the west along with the London Borough of Lewisham towards the east. To the south are the London Boroughs of Bromley and Croydon. Southwark features a wide selection of housing, which includes council housing, such as the post-Blitz Aylesbury Estate and the Heygate Estate to supply houses to low-income residents. About 31 percent of householders are owner-occupiers.
The borough is residence to several cultural, historical and notable attractions. The Shard, Tate Modern, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, and Borough Market which are the largest of the venues in Southwark to draw domestic and international tourism. Dulwich houses the Dulwich Picture Gallery along with the Imperial War Museum in Elephant and Castle.
