The vast majority of City Freemen were, and are, admitted by other means, and represent a very broad cross-section of the population. 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;

    - enjoy certain legal privileges with respect to being tried and imprisoned.
