This Order makes mainly minor changes to the boundaries of London boroughs in the South London area known as Crystal Palace. The boroughs affected are Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwick.

The map and table at the end of this note give a general guide to the areas affected and the changes made. The table also gives an approximate figure for the total area of land involved (in hectares), and for the population affected.

For full details of the transfers made, the order maps (described in article 2) should be inspected. Any person may inspect them at any reasonable time at the offices of the council for each London borough affected, and also at the offices of the Secretary of State for the Environment located in 2, Marsham Street, London SW1P 3EB.

Consequential changes are made to petty sessional divisions and coroners’s districts. The Local Government Area Changes Regulations 1976 (S.I. 1976/246, amended by S.I. 1978/247) contain general provisions regarding the effect of orders such as this one.
