Southwark London Borough Council, also known as Southwark Council, is the local authority for the London Borough of Southwark in Greater London, England. 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, for centuries the only dry crossing on the river. Around 43 AD, engineers of the Roman Empire found the geographic features of the south bank here suitable for the placement and construction of the first bridge. This historical context gives the area a distinctive character within Central London, and its location on the Thames offers a unique riverside setting for residents and visitors alike.
