The Diocese of London in the Church of England covers the whole of Middlesex. Its cathedral is St Paul's Cathedral in the City of London.

London is one of the senior dioceses of the Church, which is generally given to a clergyman of particular distinction. The Bishop of London has the right to sit in the House of Lords on appointment not by seniority of appointment, a distinction belonging only to the Archbishops of Canterbury and York and the bishops of London, Durham and Winchester.

The Diocese

The Diocese of London is identical in area to the county of Middlesex, including the City of London. Before the Victorian reorganisations, the Diocese was much broader, emcompassing Essex and much of Hertfordshire.

Within the area of the Diocese are two peculiars excluded from the Bishop's authority:


Bishop of London

The current Bishop of London is Sarah Mullally, who was appointed in 2018; the first woman to hold the see.

The Bishop's residence is The Old Deanery, Dean's Court, London.
