This is a list of the various heads of local government organisations that have served London, England.
The positions were largely ceremonial, similar to the office of mayor in a borough.
The council's standing orders also provided for the post of deputy chairman.
Although Inner London Education Authority was created in 1964 and came into its powers in 1965, the post of Leader did not exist until April 1967.
For the period 1964–67 the de facto Leadership was shared between the Chairman of the Education Committee, James Young, and the Chairmen of the Authority, Harold Shearman (from 1964–1965) and Ashley Bramall (1965–1967).
