| | Livery Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The 107 Livery Companies are trade associations based in the City of London, each known as the Worshipful Company of the relevant trade or profession. |
 | | Livery Companies are governed by a Master (known in some Companies as the Prime Warden), a number of Wardens (who may be known as the Upper, Middle, Lower, or Renter Wardens), and a Court of Assistants, which elects the Master and Wardens. |
 | | Among the earliest companies known to have possessed halls were the Merchant Taylors and Goldsmiths in the 14th century, but neither theirs nor other companies' original halls remain; the few survivors of the Great Fire were destroyed, along with many reconstructed ones, during the Blitz. |
