The Society was founded by the Corporation of London to "Promote an interest in and the interests of the City of London" among Freemen of the City and to undertake any activity that may be conducive to the realisation of this aim

TRADITION

The Society annually welcomes the Lord Mayor, our patron, to his year in office by participating in the Lord Mayor's Show.  Close ties with the City help the Young Freemen to promote, sustain and develop the Corporation of London and its origins which stem from medieval times.  Although the Society was only founded in 1976, it is our right and privilege to ensure that the City of London continues to prosper well into the future

EDUCATION

Many City institutions and their functions are inaccessible to individuals.  The Society is well connected and to broaden our knowledge of the workings of the City we have visited, amongst others, Lloyds, the Old Bailey, Middle Temple, the City Markets and many of the Livery Halls including Leathersellers', Armourers', Tallow Chandlers', Merchant Taylors', Butchers', Grocers', Farmers' and Fletchers'.

EVENTS

Each year the social calendar is packed with events and excursions, including champagne, wine and whisky tastings, guided tours of the City of London, the Lord Mayor's Show, traditional ceremonies - such as the Ceremony of the Keys at the Tower of London and Beating the Bounds - and carol singing for the Lord Mayor's charity.

In addition to this we arrange tours of places of interest in the City and also have a number of informal social events that are held at various locations during the year.  These always provide a good opportunity to get to know more about the City in which we live and work, and of course to meet and socialise with other members of the Society.
