Histórico
The South Metropolitan Gas Light and Coke Company was founded in 1834 to serve Southwark and other places in what was then Surrey and Kent.
The following companies were amalgamated with the South Metropolitan: Surrey Consumers, 1879 (established 1854); Phoenix, 1880 (established 1824); Woolwich, Charlton and Plumstead, 1884 (established 1855); Woolwich Equitable, 1884 (established 1855).
The Company was nationalised in 1949 and placed under the control of the South Eastern Gas Board. It was the sole trustee of the South Metropolitan Gas Company's Officers' Pension Fund. It was wound up voluntarily, as the Pension Fund was wound up, on 1 April 1964 in accordance with the Gas (Superannuation Schemes) (Winding Up) Regulations, 1964.
