The county was abolished in 1965 and was replaced by the much larger Greater London, which took in nearly all of Middlesex, along with much of Surrey, Kent, Essex and part of Hertfordshire.
Since the Greater London Council was not an education authority, but London County Council had been, an Inner London Education Authority was constituted to continue this role for the area of the old County of London, and this continued until the 1980s.
Eleven years after its foundation, in 1899, the County of London was divided into 28 metropolitan boroughs, which replaced the ancient parishes and vestries as the second tier of local government.
