London Residuary Body
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The London Residuary Body was a body set up in 1985 to dispose of the assets of the Greater London Council after the council's abolition in 1986. Similar residuary bodies were set up for the metropolitan counties. After the abolition of the Inner London Education Authority, the LRB took control of its assets. The LRB was chaired throughout its existence by Sir Godfrey Taylor.
Among the GLC assets disposed of by the LRB was County Hall. After all of the assets were sold, the LRB was wound up in 1996.
The LRB left few traces: the most prominent being a sign with details for the car park close to the Royal Festival Hall and London Eye - which vanished in 2004 when the car park was built.
