The London Borough of Newham is a London borough in East London, within Greater London. It is situated 5 miles east of the City of London and north of the River Thames.
The borough was formed by merging the former area of the Essex county boroughs of East Ham and West Ham within the newly formed Greater London, on 1 April 1965. Green Street marks the former boundary between the two. North Woolwich also became part of the borough (previously being in the Metropolitan Borough of Woolwich, in the County of London) along with a small area west of the River Roding which had previously been part of the Municipal Borough of Barking. Newham was devised for the borough as an entirely new name.
