London Inn of the Bishop of St Asaph

In the historic county of London, City of (Modern Authority of London, City of, 1974 county of Greater London).

This site has been described as a;
Palace.
  Confidence: It is doubtful that this site was a medieval fortification or palace.   Nothing visible remains.
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.
