Saint Swithin London Stone was situated on Cannon Street. It was an medieval church, rebuilt by Wren in 1677-1685 in an unusual cube shape covered by an octagonal dome. It was destroyed during the Second World War. The parish had been united to Saint Mary Bothaw (P69/MRY6) in 1670 after the latter was destroyed by the Great Fire in 1666.

The records of St Swithin and St Mary Bothaw were deposited in the Manuscripts Section of Guildhall Library at various dates. The Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section merged with the London Metropolitan Archives in 2009.

Records of the parish of Saint Swithin, London Stone, Cannon Street, City of London, including parish registers of baptisms, marriages, burials and banns, Vestry minutes, Churchwardens' accounts, deeds, poor rate and tithe rate assessments and miscellaneous administrative papers.

Records of the London Stone District Visiting Society, 1830-1854, 2 volumes: This was a charitable society for visiting families and distributing religious tracts, and also linen, bread, coal etc. Little is known about the society.

They comprise a cash book 1830-54 (P69/SWI/D/02/MS03366) and a summary of visits and payments made 1831-43 (P69/SWI/D/03/MS03367).
