The Lord Mayor’s Show is a quintessentially puffy piece of British pageantry, which is just how they like it. Each year, the Lord Mayor of London (as distinct from The Mayor of London, who does more work), pompously rides through the streets of London in a parade that ends with his declaration of loyalty to the crown.
This year’s show has an official board game, called City of London, a trivia game about London, natch. With only a bit more than 200 questions, it’s safe to say that the game is designed to be sold, not played.
£30, or only £25 at the Mansion House. But fear not: the money goes to The Lord Mayor’s Appeal and the Show.
