 London Borough of Lewisham

This would have been a good moment to reunite the two Deptford parishes, but because the population of Greenwich was below the average it was decided to add St Nicholas to Greenwich to bring the borough totals closer to equality.
The present London Borough of Lewisham was created in 1965, by the amalgamation of the Metropolitan Boroughs of Lewisham and Deptford.
