Lord Mayor of London
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Lord Mayor of London is the Mayor of the City of London. The Lord Mayor is the head of the Corporation of London. The Lord Mayor of London is not to be confused with the Mayor of London, an elected politician for the Greater London Authority.

Robert Finch, current Lord Mayor of the City of London

The Lord Mayor is chosen by liverymen, or members of the City's Livery Companies on Michaelmas. During his one-year term, he fulfills several roles:

Chief Magistrate of the City
Admiral of the Port of London
Chancellor of the City University
Trustee of Saint Paul's Cathedral

The post of Lord Mayor of London has existed ever since 1189 and was first held by Henry Fitzailwyn. Since 1215 the post has been sanctioned by a Royal Charter which stipulates that each year the newly elected Lord Mayor must present himself to the monarch and swear loyalty to the Crown. This ceremonial procedure now forms part of the Lord Mayor's Show, an annual procession from the City of London to the City of Westminster.
