The parish was created by splitting St Olave's parish in 1640. In the metropolitan re-organisation of 1855 it joined a District Board of Works with St Olave's and St Thomas's sending a joint representative to the Metropolitan Board of Works and remained as such after the 1889 creation of the London County Council. The DBW itself became a civil parish in 1899 but shortly after became part of the Metropolitan Borough of Bermondsey in 1900. As a religious parish (centred on the church of St John Horsleydown) it was amalgamated into the St Mary Magdalen Bermondsey parish in 1904. In 1941 the church was destroyed by enemy action. Since 1965 it has formed part of the London Borough of Southwark.
