I have two applications to make for certificates in the 1850's.The area given is 'London' Was or is there an office with just the name London? Any help please?

It is short for "City of London". This link should take you to the GENUKI info about it:

Thanks KiteRunner it covers a huge area! Rather than try to find which office it was issued under I will have to cough up to gro!Comment

From what I've read on a number of threads, you might have had to do so anyway. A lot of the London register offices won't issue certs for genealogy.Originally posted by nappycat View Post

Tower Hamlets do a search for certificates, and if you press the order button you can ask for ref checks. I was hoping more would have the same facility. ;)Comment

All London offices that do issue certs are listed in the wiki along with registrar homepage links, phone numbers, address and e-mail addys.
Some only issue certs upto/from a certain date but there are around 40 or so offices that will supply copy certs.
