Martin Lumley (lord mayor)

Martin Lumley served as the Lord Mayor of London. This is a largely ceremonial, non-political position held for a one-year term. The Lord Mayor represents the City of London, not to be confused with Greater London, which has its own Mayor. The Lord Mayor’s primary role is to promote the City of London as a leading international financial and business centre, supporting and representing its varied businesses. The position dates back centuries. The incumbent Lord Mayor resides at Mansion House and frequently engages in charitable work and public appearances. Election to the position involves selection by the City of London's Livery Companies.
