Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.The 108 livery companies are trade associations based in the City of London, almost all of which are known as the "Worshipful Company of" the relevant trade or profession. The livery companies originally developed as guilds and were responsible for the regulation of their trades, controlling, for instance, wages and labour conditions. Some livery companies (for example, the Scriveners) continue to have a regulatory role today, and some (for example, the Longbow Makers) have become inoperative except as charitable foundations. Most livery companies, particularly those formed in recent years, are primarily charitable organizations. The active livery companies also play an important part in social life and networking in the City of London. They have a long history of cultural patronage.
