Former pupils of the City of London School are called Old Citizens, and more informally as Old Boys. The school's old boy association is called the John Carpenter Club, after John Carpenter, town clerk of London, whose bequest led to the founding of the school. The following is by no means a comprehensive list: over 140 people listed in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography were educated at the City of London School, and that includes only the names of those who are already dead.[1]
