The Lord-Lieutenant of Greater London is Her Majesty's representative in Greater London, comprising the 32 London boroughs.^[1]

Created under the Administration of Justice Act (1964), this office merged those of Lord-Lieutenant of the County of London (cr. 1889) and the ancient Lord-Lieutenantcy of Middlesex.^[3]

From 1965, the following have served as HM Lord-Lieutenant of Greater London :

• 1 Apr 1965 – 1966 : Harold, Earl Alexander of Tunis KG;
• 28 Dec 1966 – 1973 : Sir Gerald Templer KG;
• 12 Sep 1973 – 1978 : Charles, Baron Elworthy KG;
