London County Council

Prior to the LCC London matters were run by church parishes. The LCC was the first directly elected strategic local government body for London. Replaced by the Greater London Council, covering a larger area.

In 1901 took over the blue plaque scheme from the Royal Society of Arts. Now run by English Heritage.
