Mayors of the London Boroughs attended a special Evensong at Westminster Abbey on the Feast of the Dedication on Sunday 14th October 2012. The Feast of the Dedication celebrates the Abbey building as a sacred place.
The Lord Mayors’ Association was established in 1901, initially as the ‘Metropolitan Mayors and Ex-Mayors’ Association’. It was formed with the purpose of promoting discussion of general matters affecting the Metropolis and to enable Mayors and former Mayors to meet on a social basis.
In 1965 with the re-organisation of Local Government in London, the Mayors and former Mayors of all 31 Boroughs were entitled to join as were the Lord Mayors and former Lord Mayors of the City of London and the City of Westminster.
The Association is non-party political and arranges a variety of events throughout the year including an Annual Service in Westminster Abbey, a visit to a foreign Capital City and lunches for visiting Mayors from abroad.
The London Mayors' Association celebrated its Centenary in 2001.
