Elections to the Metropolitan Borough of Southwark were held in 1928.
The borough had ten wards which returned between 3 and 9 members.
Election summary
[edit]At the previous elections in 1925 the Ratepayers Association won 44 seats to the Labour Party's 16. The Ratepayers Association was the name adopted for an anti-Labour Party electoral alliance. By 1928 this electoral alliance had ended in two of the ten of wards. In other wards, candidates reverted to running either as Liberals (Progressives) or Municipal Reform (Conservatives).
