Over the last 300 years, about 300,000 ordinary people have been made Free of the City of London.

Historically, only City Freemen could:
- vote in Parliamentary elections;
- vote in civic elections, for each Ward's Common Councilmen and Alderman;
- be exempt from all tolls payable on animals brought into the City for sale;
- be exempt from all market tolls payable anywhere in the country;
