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 ã300 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.
