London Meeting Room, ON

The London Meeting Room is considered one of four of the oldest, continuously meeting, Darbyite assemblies in all of Ontario, Canada, alongside the Ottawa Meeting Room, ON, the St. Thomas Meeting Room, ON and the Smiths Falls Meeting Room, ON. Each is known to have existed in 1878, if not earlier.

William Daniel Edy 1884-1916 (1832-1916) alleged recipient of the first phone call from Alexander Graham Bell in 1876 was in fellowship with the PB as early as 1881, initially at Brantford before moving to London in 1884. It is presumed that he was in fellowship with the exclusives.
