London Inn of the Bishop of St Asaph

In the historic county of City of London.
Modern Authority of City and County of the City of London.
1974 county of Greater London.

London Inn of the Bishop of St Asaph has been described as a Palace although is doubtful that it was such.

There are no visible remains.

Description

London Inn of the Bishop of St Asaph. Payne lists this and writes location unknown, but Emery writes the see did not have a London house. The records for London are good and it does seem unlikely that an Inn of the bishop would be unidentified. St Asaph was an impoverished see and possibly could not afford even a modest London house. Presumably when the bishop was in London he either rented or lodged with a fellow cleric.
