The Bishop of Southwark oversees the Anglican Diocese of Southwark, which forms part of the Province of Canterbury in England. It was formed on May 1, 1905 from part of the Diocese of Rochester.[1] Consequently, compared with the ancient dioceses, its list of bishops is short:

  1. Edward Stuart Talbot 1905-1911
  2. Hubert Murray Burge 1911-1919
  3. Cyril Forster Garbett 1919-1932
