Standing proudly in the heart of the City of London, Mansion House has been the official residence of the Lord Mayor of London since the 18th century. Designed in the grand Palladian style by architect George Dance the Elder, this Grade I listed masterpiece is celebrated for its timeless elegance, historic prestige, and enduring role in London’s civic life.

For over 250 years, Mansion House has welcomed kings, queens, presidents, prime ministers, and global dignitaries. It is a symbol of London's heritage, hospitality and global influence.

Born from a vision after the Great Fire of 1666, Mansion House became the first permanent home for the Lord Mayor, replacing a tradition where Mayors hosted civic duties in their own homes or livery halls. Construction began in 1739, and in 1758, Sir Crispin Gascoigne became its first resident.

Behind its stately façade lies a world of craftsmanship and ceremony. From the grand Egyptian Hall, inspired by ancient Roman architecture, to the intricate stained glass and marble statuary added in the 19th century, every detail tells a story of artistry and civic pride. Once home to prisoners’ cells, even the vaulted cellars now echo with history.
