Membership is open to all Freemen of the City of London, regardless of nationality, gender or religion, and our membership is drawn from all over the world, bound by a common interest in the City of London and the welfare and education of its citizens.

 

Our Guild purpose
To offer all Freemen of the City of London a welcoming association where they can support the City by contributing to its welfare, celebrating its heritage and helping to shape its future, while enjoying an active social programme.

We achieve this by:

• Offering our members a diverse social programme including events with privileged access and insights
• Giving charitably in the City and neighbouring communities, through our Guild Charity
• Encouraging people from all walks of life to apply for the Freedom and promoting its role in the government of today’s City

In 2008 the Guild was 100 years old, and during this year the Guild celebrated its Centenary, with Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal as the Centenary Master. Although the Guild is a fairly young organization, particularly when compared with many of the City's Livery Companies, the Guild nevertheless is steeped in the mediaeval traditions of Freemen and trade societies set up for mutual support and protection
