London Family History Centre

The London Family History Centre (formerly the Hyde Park Family History Centre) is one of more than 4,500 Family History Centres of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is the largest such Centre outside of North America, and one of more than 100 Centres in the British Isles.

The Centre holds a growing collection of finding aids and a significant collection of primary records, mostly on microfilm.

Records are chiefly drawn from the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah.
