The parish was included in the area of responsibility of the Metropolitan Board of Works in 1855 and became part of the County of London in 1889. The parish of Lambeth became a metropolitan borough in 1900, following the London Government Act 1899, with the parish vestry replaced by a borough council. In 1965 the borough was abolished and became part of the larger London Borough of Lambeth in Greater London.

10 Greenest Boroughs in London
What are the greenest areas in London? We live in an increasingly urbanized world which, if left with the pace of industrialization and growth, may soon become uninhabitable. Making our cities more environmentally friendly requires that all hands be on deck. Cities in the UK are sparing no effort when it comes to making more green space available for residents. Let’s now illustrate this by considering the 10 greenest boroughs in London.
Which ones of the 32 boroughs in London Boroughs are leading the way in this regard? You will find an interesting discussion in the ranking in this video based on what regional data elements such as pollution, quality of life, life expectancy, and available green spaces reveal about these 10 greenest boroughs in London.

This isn't the first time we've posed the question (http://londonist.com/2013/05/what-counts-as-london) but this time we've come up with a graphical video that contrasts and compares the various ways people define London.
Take a look and then decide if you still consider yourself to live in London - and if you're interested as to why there are no NE or S London postcodes, here's the story behind it: http://londonist.com/2015/08/why-is-there-no-ne-or-s-london-postcode-district

SUMMARY
=======
A metropolitan borough is a type of local government district in England, and is a subdivision of a metropolitan county. Created in 1974 by the Local Government Act 1972, metropolitan boroughs are defined in English law as metropolitan districts. However, all of them have been granted or regranted royal charters to give them borough status (as well as, in some cases, city status). Metropolitan boroughs have been effectively unitary authority areas since the abolition of the metropolitan county councils by the Local Government Act 1985. However, metropolitan boroughs pool much of their authority in joint boards and other arrangements that cover whole metropolitan counties, such as combined authorities.

What are the greenest areas in London? We live in an increasingly urbanized world which, if left with the pace of industrialization and growth, may soon become uninhabitable. Making our cities more environmentally friendly requires that all hands be on deck. Cities in the UK are sparing no effort when it comes to making more green space available for residents. Let’s now illustrate this by considering the 10 greenest boroughs in London.
Which ones of the 32 boroughs in London Boroughs are leading the way in this regard? You will find an interesting discussion in the ranking in this video based on what regional data elements such as pollution, quality of life, life expectancy, and available green spaces reveal about these 10 greenest boroughs in London.
10. Westminster
Let’s start with Westminster. This borough in Inner London forms a core part of Central London. This borough occupies a vast area of central Greater London and this includes most of the West End. Westminster is one of the greenest boroughs in London.
The borough has a population of 261,317, according to the 2019 estimate. The city's size is about 21.5 square kilometers. In the Green City Index which assigns scores to calculate how much green space is there in an area, Westminster scores 40.76 out of a possible score of 60. Westminster Borough is largely residential. It has many large parks and numerous open spaces, including Hyde Park and Regents Park. It’s a green borough despite its high population density.
9. Hammersmith & Fulham
This is a borough in West London that also forms part of Inner London. It was formed in 1965 by merging the former Metropolitan Boroughs of Hammersmith and Fulham. It is one of the 10 greenest boroughs in London. It’s home to three professional soccer clubs, namely Chelsea, Fulham, and Queens Park Rangers.
Based on its total area of 16.40 square kilometers and its population of 186,143, it may have some challenges with its population density of 11,000 residents per kilometer square. Hammersmith & Fulham have a green space score of 41.05, doing well in all six criteria. It devotes 231 hectares of land to parks and open spaces accessible to the general public. Of these 159 hectares are within parks and 52.5 hectares are cemeteries and churchyards.
8. Croydon
Croydon, the southernmost borough of London, has transformed from a small market town into one of the most populous areas on the city’s fringe. It’s the eighth-greenest borough in London. With a total area of 86.5 square kilometers, Croydon is the second-largest borough in London and the fifteenth in England. It has a population of 386,710, according to the 2019 estimate.
Gone are the days when it was being criticized for not having enough leisure facilities and being ranked as a three-star borough. Its current green space score is 41.73 out of 60. This is not bad, you would agree. It has over 120 parks and open spaces, ranging from the 0.81 square kilometer Selsdon Wood Nature Reserve to so many recreation grounds and sports fields dotting the borough.
7. Merton
Merton borough was a product of the Municipal Borough of Mitcham, the Municipal Borough of Wimbledon, and the Merton and Morden Urban District. Occupying a total area of 37.6 square kilometers, its 2019 estimated population was 206,548.
Based on the criteria such as green outdoor space, green space percentage, air quality, number of parks, number of gardens, number of nature and wildlife areas, number of playgrounds, bodies of water, and number of forests, Merton gathers a total score of 42.73 in green space score.

With a total area of 86.5 square kilometers, Croydon is the second-largest borough in London and the fifteenth in England. It has a population of 386,710, according to the 2019 estimate.
Gone are the days when it was being criticized for not having enough leisure facilities and being ranked as a three-star borough. Its current green space score is 41.73 out of 60. This is not bad, you would agree. It has over 120 parks and open spaces, ranging from the 0.81 square kilometer Selsdon Wood Nature Reserve to so many recreation grounds and sports fields dotting the borough.
