Our Borough

Home to over 320,000 residents and 18,000 business, we’re supported by more than 5,000 dedicated people who work across the council. Our diverse communities span from Bermondsey and Rotherhithe, through Elephant & Castle, Camberwell, and Peckham, all the way to the leafy streets of Dulwich.

Southwark is a borough of contrasts – from those thriving in London’s booming economy to households facing significant challenges. No two lives are the same, yet together, we make up the most exciting, vibrant borough in London.

We’re passionate about building a fairer, more equal Southwark, guided by our ambitious 2030 vision. We’re creating a borough where every resident has access to the opportunities, support, and resources they need to thrive – a place where everyone can live good lives. This is the future our residents want and deserve, and we’re determined to make it a reality. 

Join us and be part of something extraordinary!
