8 November 2025 and the City of London will see its first ever Lady Mayor’s Show. A good start to the day passing this lovely act of remembrance for all those who departed this town to serve in times of war #LMS2025 #Ladymayorsshow #Cityhistory #RemembranceDay #lestweforget

If you’re passing @p_sq, drop by @theldnarchives exhibition on the City of London in #WWII. Some fascinating photos on display including many by Arthur Cross and Fred Tibbs, both @CityPoliceCops, who recorded so much of the bomb damage inflicted on the Square Mile #Cityhistory

Well, the new Court and City of London police building at Fleet Street is coming on #policehistory #Cityhistory

Two of the Greatest Generation. Both now gone, but not forgotten on #VEDay #VEDay80

20 April 2016 and the Household Cavalry become one of the City of London’s privileged regiments with a little help from City Police horses.

In every group photo there’s usually one with their eyes closed or looking the wrong way …. 🙄 🐑 #Sundayintheshire

In the beautiful Wren church of St Mary Aldermary, a window marking the contribution of civil defence to the protection of London in #WWII #Cityhistory #WindowsOnWednesday

A study in blue. Thursday afternoon on the Thames, looking towards the City of London #bluesky #blueriver

Jack Bousfield - born in Australia in 1911, he joined the Metropolitan Police aged 21. During #WWII he served as an air-gunner with 83 Squadron, and became the first former London police officer to receive the DFC #policehistory

So, today saw ruralshire’s (rough) equivalent of the City of London’s cart-marking, but with more tractors #vintagevehicles #steamengines #BoxingDay

Wishing you all a happy and peaceful Christmas.

‘Be good, we are still open’ - a festive message from the early 1940s from the City of London Police officers of D Division (Cloak Lane).
Wishing all in the emergency services a merry and ‘Q’ Christmas. Stay safe!

Need to check you haven’t been short changed on your imperial measurements? Then look no further than the north-east corner of Trafalgar Square. You’re welcome.

Remembering the three City of London Police officers who were murdered while trying to arrest burglars this night in 1910. PS Robert Bentley, PS Robert Tucker and PC Walter Choat #Houndsditchmurders #lestweforget #notforgotten #Cityhistory

What once were police stations, all located within just a square mile. The entrance to the Victorian-built Cloak Lane, where the City Police Commissioner was told of Catherine Eddowes’s murder in 1888; the 1920s Snow Hill, all wrapped up for Christmas; and McMorran’s 1960s built Wood Street
