Archdeacon of London

Before the 20th century, the early medieval-founded London archdeaconry included parts of the East End as well as the City of London. The extent of the archdeaconry was reduced in 1912 (with the creation of the Archdeaconry of Hampstead) and in 1951 (with the creation of the Archdeaconry of Hackney) then latest boundary changes with the creation of the Archdeaconry of Charing Cross in 1989 saw the archdeaconry become coterminous with the limits of the City of London.

This archdeaconry, comprising the City of Westminster, was created shortly before Klyberg's appointment in June 1989.{{Church Times | title = Archdeaconry of Charing Cross | archive = 1989_06_30_003 | issue = 6594 | date = 30 June 1989 | page = 3 | accessed = 4 January 2021 }} The archdeacon serves directly under the Bishop of London, who takes direct responsibility for the Two Cities area since there is no area bishop.
