List of civil parishes in the City of London
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of civil parishes in the ceremonial county of the City of London.
There are currently no civil parishes in the City of London and it is entirely unparished.[1] Although it is possible to create new civil parishes in a London borough, it is not possible within the City of London.
The City of London formed a single civil parish from 1907, until it was abolished on 1 April 1965.[2]
