As head of the City of London, the Lord Mayor presides over its
governing bodies - the Court of Aldermen and the
Court of Common Council. He is Chief Magistrate of the City of
London, Admiral of the Port of London, Chancellor of City
University and President or Patron of many other civic and
charitable organisations. Each Lord Mayor serves for one year
marked by the annual Lord Mayor’s show. Whilst in office his
official residence is the
Mansion House.
He also has a much wider business role - working for Britain as
a whole, supporting and promoting the world's leading international
financial centre, the City of London, both at home and abroad. His
position as a trusted spokesman for the business community is
enhanced by the entirely apolitical nature of his office.
