Wards of London

Wed, 2008-04-16 09:47 — admin

The Wards of London bear the same relation to the City that the Hundred anciently did to the shire. The Wards are twenty-six in number, and are divided into several precincts, each of which returns one common councilman. The common councilmen and Ward officers are elected annually, and the meetings of the aldermen and common council are called Wardmotes.

The wards are: -

Aldersgate Within; Aldersgate Without; Aldgate; Bassishaw; Billingsgate; Bishopsgate Within; Bishopsgate Without; Bread-street; Bridge; Broad-street; Candlewick; Castle Baynard; Cheap; Coleman-street; Cordwainer; Cornhill; Cripplegate Within; Cripplegate Without; Dowgate; Farringdon Within (North); Farringdon Within (south); Farringdon Without; Langbourn; Lime-street; Portsoken; Queenhithe; Tower; Vintry; Walbrook.
