The Society's area now comprises much of North London, namely the City of London, the City of Westminster, and the London Boroughs of Barnet, Brent, Camden, Enfield, Haringey, Harrow, and Islington, together with parts of Ealing and Hillingdon. We aim to bring together all those family historians with ancestors in the area or who live in the area.

The Society is publishing a series of booklets designed to help family historians locate records, whether hard copy, transcript or online, to each of the districts in its area based on which Ancient Parish the district was in. It is also republishing the Memorial Inscriptions recorded by members in the 1980s in booklet form. The journal, Metropolitan, is published four times a year and talks of a genealogical or local history nature are held at several branches including one which is online.
