List of churches in the Diocese of London

The Anglican Diocese of London forms part of the Province of Canterbury in England. Historically the diocese covered a large area north of the River Thames, and bordered the dioceses of Norwich and Lincoln to the north and west. The present diocese covers 177 square miles (458 km²), and 17 London boroughs, covering most of Greater London north of the Thames and west of the River Lea. This area covers nearly all of the historic county of Middlesex, and includes the City of London in which lies its cathedral, St Paul's as well as encompassing Spelthorne, formerly in Middlesex but presently part of Surrey. Essex formed part of the Diocese until 1846 when it became part of the Diocese of Chelmsford. The diocese is divided into five episcopal areas each of which (except the central one) is the particular responsibility of one of the diocese's suffragan bishops. It is further divided into archdeaconries and rural deaneries, as shown below.[1]
