The election for Southwark London Borough Council took place on 3 May 2018, the same day as for other London Boroughs. All 63 seats were up for election.[1]
New boundaries were used, using 23 two- and three-member wards (there were previously 21 three-member wards), following a Local Government Boundary Commission for England review that concluded in 2016. The review reflected demographic growth, shifting seats from the south of the borough to its northwest.
Following ward boundary changes, this ward is made up of parts of the former wards of East Dulwich, College and Peckham Rye.
Following ward boundary changes, this ward was made up from the former ward of College, but is significantly smaller.
