Beckenham was a local government district in north west Kent from 1894 to 1965 around the town of Beckenham.
It was created an urban district in 1894 by the Local Government Act 1894 and gained the status of municipal borough in 1935.
In 1965 the municipal borough was abolished by the London Government Act 1963 and its former area transferred to Greater London from Kent. Its former area was combined with that of other districts to form the present-day London Borough of Bromley.
