The City of London Corporation

The City of London Corporation is the governing body responsible for the City of London, a small but significant financial district in central London. It oversees local services, manages infrastructure, and promotes the area's economic activity. Unique among UK local authorities, it combines traditional governance—like a governing court and Lord Mayor—with modern functions supporting banking, commerce, and tourism. The Corporation also maintains historical traditions, such as the Lord Mayor’s Show, while working to ensure the city remains a major global financial hub.
