our ward of cripplegate
The City of London elects 100 Councillors across 25 wards. Our ward, Cripplegate, is one of only four residential wards along with Aldersgate, Portsoken and Queenhithe, the rest are business wards.
The resident population is around 1,900 and Golden Lane Estate accounts for about a third. Cripplegate also takes in part of the Barbican Estate, a few other residential blocks, and a small community of businesses in addition to the world renowned Barbican Arts Centre and Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

NB our previous Alderwoman Sue Pearson took mandatory retirement in July 2024 and was succeeded by Councillor Liz King (there was no election as Liz’s nomination was not contested). Sue Pearson has since been elected GLERA Chair.
Even though we were all elected on our individual and varied manifestos, my Cripplegate Ward colleagues work effectively as a team, focusing and working on the issues that matter to us all. Together, with our relevant resident associations and representative groups, we collaborate with colleagues from neighbouring City wards to raise the voice of residents across the Corporation.
– Alderwoman Liz King
