The
name Suthriganaweorc or Suthringa geweorche[3] is recorded for the area in the
10th century Anglo-Saxon document known as the Burghal Hidage[3] and means
"fort of the men of Surrey"[2] or "the defensive work of the men
of Surrey".[3] Southwark is recorded in the 1086 Domesday Book as Sudweca.
The name means "southern defensive work" and is formed from the Old
English sūth and weorc. The southern location is in reference to the City of
London to the north, Southwark being at the southern end of London Bridge.
Until 1889, the county of Surrey included the present-day London borough of
Southwark, yet the name has been used for various areas of civil
administration, including the ancient Borough of Southwark, the Metropolitan
Borough of Southwark and the current London Borough of Southwark. The ancient
borough of Southwark was also known simply as The Borough —or Borough— and this
name, in distinction from 'The City', has persisted as an alternative name for
the area. Southwark was also simultaneously referred to as the Ward of Bridge
Without when administered by the City (from 1550 to 1900) and as an Aldermanry
until 1978.

Southwark:
Southwark is a district of Central
London, England, and part of the London Borough of Southwark. Situated 1.5
miles (2.4 km) east of Charing Cross, it forms one of the oldest parts of
London and fronts the River Thames to the north. It historically formed an
ancient borough in the county of Surrey, made up of a number of parishes, which
increasingly came under the influence and jurisdiction of the City of London.
As an inner district of London, Southwark experienced rapid depopulation during
the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is now at an advanced stage of
regeneration and is the location of the City Hall offices of the Greater London
Authority.
