Greater London Council

The Greater London Council (GLC) was a key government body responsible for the administration of Greater London from 1965 until 1986. It managed essential services such as transportation, housing, and education across the capital. The GLC aimed to coordinate policies and developments for London's boroughs, promoting economic growth and public welfare. In 1986, it was abolished, and its responsibilities were transferred to local borough councils and new authorities, reshaping the governance structure of London. The GLC's legacy continues to influence how London is managed today.
