The Conservative candidate, Sir George Broadbridge, who had been Lord Mayor of London in 1936, was returned unopposed.May 2016 Result By-election 6 April 1938: City of London Conservative Party (UK) George Broadbridge Unopposed N/A N/A Conservative Party (UK) Previous election General election 14 November 1935: City of London (2 seats) Conservative Party (UK) Alan Anderson Unopposed N/A N/A Conservative Party (UK) Vansittart Bowater Unopposed N/A N/A Conservative Party (UK) Conservative Party (UK) References Craig F.
