Woolwich became part of the London metropolitan area in the mid-19th century, although it remained in Kent until 1889, with the formation of London County Council, when it became part of London. In 1900 the parishes of Woolwich, Eltham and Plumstead formed the Metropolitan Borough of Woolwich. In 1965 Woolwich was merged into the London Borough of Greenwich.
