This page is intended as a brief directory to help researchers find the location of existing and former Anglican (Church of England) parish churches within the modern region of Greater London, as well as provide links to more information on available records. For each church, clicking on the "Street Location" link is directed to a modern Google Map, and the "Booth Map" links to a page that compares the area on Charles Booth's Poverty Maps to their modern geographic area. This is especially useful if the church no longer exists. "AIM25" is a catalogue of archives held in the London area, and "FamilySearch" pages provide a history of each parish as well as information on available records. The list of churches and links on this page is currently incomplete and is intended to grow.
This directory is divided into the modern 32 London boroughs plus the City of London.
