Unfortunately, children go missing in all parts of the world and London is not immune to this.

The charity Missing People which advocates for and helps to reconnect missing people and their families, has 54 active appeals on its website for children below the age of 18 who are missing from their homes in London.

While it is incredibly sad, MyLondon thinks it is important to stop and think for a moment about all the children who are missing.

Some of these appeals are for children as young as six-years-old, while others who went missing as children have now been missing for decades.

Below is a list of all of Missing People's active appeals for children missing from London. If you have any information, you can call Missing People on 116 000 and quote the reference numbers listed.
