Not to be confused with Royal Commission on Local Government in Greater London.

The Royal Commission on London Government, also known as the Ullswater Commission, was a Royal Commission which considered the case for amendments to the local government arrangements in the County of London and its environs.^[1] The commission was chaired by Viscount Ullswater, appointed in October 1921, and reported in 1923.

The London County Council proposed the creation of an expanded Greater London area under which they would have control. The proposal met with almost universal opposition and was rejected by the majority report. A minority report called for the creation of futher county boroughs in the metropolitan area.
