Southwark on NLS OS England and Wales 1892-1908 maps
Southwark is a district of Central London situated on the south bank of the River Thames, forming the north-western part of the wider modern London Borough of Southwark. The district, which is the oldest part of South London, developed due to its position at the southern end of the early versions of London Bridge, the only crossing point for many miles. London’s historic core, the City of London lay north of the Bridge.
Southwark was part of Surrey from 1837-1889
Southwark was part of the County of London from 1889-1965
Southwark became part of Greater London on 1 April 1965-Present Day.
