The Mayor of Southwark

About Councillor Naima Ali, her role as Mayor, and how to get in touch.

The Civic Office

A small civic team supports and advises the Mayor. The team also leads a programme of events and activities to strengthen the community. 

The civic office organises civic ceremonial events, including but not limited to:

  • the inauguration of the Mayor
  • the Southwark Civic Awards
  • Armed Forces Day
  • Remembrance Day 
  • Holocaust Memorial Day
  • the Mayor’s annual Charity Ball

The office also arranges ceremonies where the borough's highest honour, The Honorary Freedom of Southwark, is presented. It confers the title of Honorary Alderman on ex-councillors who have served at least two terms.
