The London Borough of Newham is a London borough in northeast London. Before it was incorporated into Greater London in 1965 it was mainly composed of two county boroughs, of East Ham and West Ham, and part of it, North Woolwich, was in the Metropolitan Borough of Woolwich. It also got Barking west of the River Roding.
Unlike most English districts, its council is led by a directly-elected mayor, currently Robin Wales.
It is considered part of Outer London for most purposes because it was not in the old County of London. However, economically it is one of the more deprived areas, and Newham Council has campaigned to have the borough officially considered part of Inner London, which would have certain financial advantages.
According to the 2001 census the population of the borough is 243,891. It is 41% white, 13% black african, 12% Indian and 9% Bangladeshi. 44% of householders are owner-occupiers.
