London County Council

The London County Council (LCC) was an important local government body in London from 1889 until 1965. It was responsible for managing various public services, including education, transport, housing, and health within the Greater London area. The LCC played a key role in modernizing London's infrastructure and addressing urban challenges during its existence. In 1965, it was dissolved and replaced by the Greater London Council, which took over its functions, while local boroughs assumed more responsibilities for local governance. The LCC's legacy includes significant developments in urban planning and public services in London.
