From London with Love: A Night to Remember at the London Market Dinner 2025

Over 500 guests from London’s insurance and reinsurance market gathered at the Guildhall for the London Market Dinner 2025, raising £700,000 for The Lord Mayor’s Appeal.

Hosted by myself and the Lady Mayoress, the James Bond–inspired evening celebrated the strength, generosity and global influence of the London Market, with spectacular performances and an unforgettable auction.

A huge thank you to the organising committee: Lidia Bozhevolnaya, Hugh Brennan, Tom Clementi, Matt Jenkins, Ola Jacob Raji, Hannah Kate Smith, Tom Sutton, Vivek Syal, Emma Woolley and Irem Yerdelen – and Chair Dominic Christian, for his inspiring leadership.

Together, we’ve raised vital funds to support The Lord Mayor’s Appeal and its mission to build a fairer, healthier, more skilled and inclusive City.
