London, England Genealogy

The City of London is an inland administrative unit located in the South East of England.

Strictly speaking, London was not a county until the establishment of the London County Council (LCC) in 1889. London City (proper) at certain points in time, incorporated over 130 ancient parishes, chapels, inns of court and liberties. The City of London, whose area was largely established in Roman times, maintained its independence, and these pages are focused on the historical city/county, often referred to as 'The City' or 'The Square Mile'.

The City of London (proper) is but a fraction of that area which comprises modern-day Greater London. Until 1889, Greater London incorporated all of the ancient county of Middlesex, the cities of London, Westminster, and Southwark, portions of the following counties:


 * Northeast Surrey
 * Northwest Kent
 * Southeast Essex
