List of sheriffs of the City of London


This is a list of sheriffs of [the City of London]. Pursuant to a royal charter of Henry I 1131, the liverymen of the City elected two sheriffs of "London and Middlesex" upon payment of £300 per annum to the Crown. This practice continued until 1889, when the Local [Government Act 1888] came into force. Thereafter a High Sheriff of Middlesex and a High Sheriff of the [County of London] were separately appointed in the same manner as other English and Welsh counties.
