Welcome to this website about the City of London's Livery Companies. The site concentrates on City of London civic matters, and particularly those relating to the Livery Companies and their Masters, Wardens & Clerks. It assumes some existing involvement or knowledge of the livery companies.
Index: Below are links to the relevant page at this site for each subject alphabetically listed. Those annotated Diary will not only show the date of the event (up to two years ahead), but also usually provide a further link showing more details of the event.

Links to City of London website - the Guildhall has recenty (June/July 2020) relaunched its own website at https://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk
As it did not tell anyone it was doing so, and made no allowance for existing links to it from elsewhere (eg this site, and many others), inevitably there are now many broken 404 links at LiveryCompanies.info
Visitors are invited to notify me of any you discover, as I steadily aim to fix them
