THE WARDS

The City is divided into (election) Wards.

There are 25 Wards.  Each Ward elects at a wardmote, an Alderman once every six years (but not all at the same time), and 2-10 Commoners once every four years, who then serve on the Councils. There are currently 25 Aldermen and 100 Common Councilmen serving as elected representatives, representing the public interest and informing how the City of London Corporation should carry out its various activities. Your Livery Company, if it has premises in the City, will be in a particular Ward, and will be able to vote both for the Alderman, and the Common Councilmen - as will businesses and residents in the Ward. A Ward has one or more Beadles with ceremonial roles.  (These are separate from the beadles that are employed by Livery Companies).  Most Wards have a Ward Club for meeting and socialising.  Your Clerk may be a member of the Ward Club and you might like to  check your own eligibility for membership if you are interested in being part of it.  
​
Check out the list of Ward Clubs on this link  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London_ward_clubs   or on: https://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/about-the-city/voting-elections/Pages/ward-news-and-clubs.aspx. This site also gives links to Ward Newsletters.
