There are 110 livery companies of the City of London, comprising London's ancient and modern trade associations and guilds.

These livery companies play a significant part in the life of the City of London (i.e. the financial district and historic heart of the capital), not least by providing charitable-giving and networking opportunities. Most livery companies still maintain contacts with their original trade, craft or professional roles. Some still exercise powers of regulation, inspection and enforcement, while others are awarding bodies for professional qualifications.

Almost all are now styled the 'Worshipful Company of...'. However, they were not always known so and the wikitree approach to categorization is to follow the City of London's own list of the Livery Companies. See: Database of Livery Companies.

The Livery Companies can be a useful source of records for genealogical research. The Records of London's Livery Companies Online (ROLLCO) project has been established to create a fully searchable and freely accessible online database of membership information for the City of London's Livery Companies, from their earliest surviving records to c.1900. See: Records of London's Livery Companies Online. Apprentices and Freemen 1400-1900.
