Of the 66 cities in the United Kingdom, the City of London is among the 30 that have Lord Mayors ( or, in Scotland, Lords Provost ).

The Lord Mayor is entitled to the style The Right Honourable ; the same privilege extends only to the Lord Mayors of York, Cardiff and Belfast, and to the Lords Provost of Edinburgh and Glasgow.

It was once customary for Lord Mayors to be created knights upon taking office and baronets upon retirement, unless they held those titles already.

From 1964 onwards, the regular creation of hereditary dignities such as baronetcies ceased, but Lord Mayors continued to be granted knighthoods ( usually of the rank of Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire ) until 1993.

Since 1993, Lord Mayors have not received any automatic honours upon appointment ; instead, they have been created Knights Bachelor upon retirement, although Gordon Brown's government broke with tradition by awarding Ian Luder the CBE after his term of office in 2009, and the following year Nick Anstee declined the offer of any national honour.

Additionally in recent years Lord Mayors have been appointed Knights of St John ( KStJ ), of which order HM The Queen is Sovereign Head.

Lord Mayors are elected for one-year terms ; by custom, they do not now serve more than one consecutive term.

Some Lord Mayors in the Middle Ages, such as Sir Edward Dalyngrigge ( 1392 ), did not reside in London.
