The borough was formed from five civil parishes: Bermondsey St. Mary Magdalen, Rotherhithe St. Mary, Southwark St. John Horsleydown, Southwark St. Olave and Southwark St. Thomas. In 1904 these four were combined into a single civil parish called Bermondsey, which was conterminous with the metropolitan borough.

Previous to the borough's formation it had been administered by three separate local bodies: St Olave District Board of Works, Bermondsey Vestry and Rotherhithe Vestry.
