A centuries-old City treasure... and a new mystery! The historic City Purse has been 'presented' to Lady Mayor Dame Susan Langley at The Mansion House, following its restoration by experts from a City livery company. Traditionally described as Elizabethan or early 17th century, the purse revealed a surprise during restoration... a small ring hidden inside. 💍 #CityOfLondon #CityHistory #ElizabethI #LordMayor #Guildhall

First look 👀 The State Coach, mid-restoration at a secret location. See it first at Guildhall the week before the Show. After a spin round the City like, well... a coach and horses, it's off to the new @LDN_Museum. 📍 Sat 14 Nov | Free lordmayorsshow.london/lord-m… #LordMayorsShow

Last night, the City of London Cooperation welcomed His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik of Oman to Guildhall for a banquet celebrating the deep and enduring friendship between the United Kingdom and Oman. In her speech the Lady Mayor of the City of London highlighted the shared commitment of both nations to open trade, secure maritime routes and global stability. It was a chance to also celebrate the strength of UK-Oman economic ties and the opportunities to deepen investment, connect innovators with capital and turn pioneering ideas into industries. The evening reflected a partnership rooted in centuries of history, strengthened by people and ready to face the future hand-in-hand. #CityofLondon #Oman #UKOman #GlobalTrade #Investment

Visiting Sandys Row Synagogue, Spitalfields (link to article in reply below) If you walk down a narrow side street near Liverpool Street station, you might notice a plain-looking brick building, London's oldest surviving Ashkenazi synagogue.

A great group again on my #GreatFireofLondon walk for @Guided_Walks. Lovely to see returning clients. That lasting legacy of the Fire - St Paul's Cathedral - never ceases to impress. Next Great Fire walk is 1st November. Book via bit.ly/3NlV9WJ #guidedwalk #history
