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 area of the Metropolitan Borough of Lewisham along with the Metropolitan Borough of Deptford, which had been established in 1900 as divisions of the County of London. However, minor boundary changes have occurred since its creation. One of the most important amendments were made in 1996, when the previous area of the Royal Docks in Deptford was transferred from the London Borough of Greenwich.
