The board was created by the Metropolis Management Act 1855 which also created a second tier of parish vestries and district boards. The members of the Metropolitan Board were not directly elected but were nominated by these lower tier authorities and by the Corporation of London. This lack of accountability made it unpopular with Londoners, especially in its latter years when it fell prey to corruption.
