Greenwich was a local government district within the metropolitan area of London, England from 1855 to 1900.

It was formed by the Metropolis Management Act 1855 and was governed by the Greenwich District Board of Works, which consisted of elected vestrymen.

Until 1889 the district was partly in the counties of Kent and Surrey, but included in the area of the Metropolitan Board of Works.

[3] In 1894 as its population had increased the parish of Greenwich was re-divided into six wards (electing vestrymen): No.

In the Metropolis Management Amendment Bill there was provision that the Greenwich vestry would become incorporated as a local authority and the remaining area would have formed the Deptford District.
