The freedom of the City of London is a very ancient tradition. It is not an award or honour unless conferred as the rarely-granted Honorary freedom. Honorary freedoms apart, a British or British Commonwealth citizen of good character above the age of 21 may apply to the Corporation of London, Guildhall, for the freedom. There are no place of birth or residential qualifications and naturalised British and British Commonwealth citizens are equally eligible.  more |
| The Procedure to become a Freeman of the City of London
To become a freeman of the City of London by redemption, two personal visits to the Chamberlain's Court are required whether applying by nomination or through a livery company. The first visit is to apply for the freedom, the second (generally a month or so later) for the ceremony of admission. Applications and admissions cannot be made by post, telephone, fax or proxy. more |
