Announcing the City of London Heritage Harvest

  Announcing the City of London Heritage Harvest A City wide project to record and share the City of London's intangible cultural heritage (hereafter 'living heritage') in support of HM Government's adoption of the UNESCO Convention on the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage (2003). Context The City of London has the greatest concentration of living heritage of any place in the United Kingdom. There are more customs, ceremonies, practices, traditions, songs and stories about the City than any other part of the UK. In the spring of 2025 HM Government announced the creation of public registers of living heritage for each of the devolved nations. The public register for England is a resource for communities to record and share their living heritage, whether it be a public event of national importance such as The Lord / Lady Mayor's Show, or a private ceremony such as the Loving Cup.
