The Mansion House and Guildhall Meetings were a series of meetings convened by the Lord Mayor of London at Mansion House and Guildhall, organized by the residents of the English capital to protest against the persecution of Jews.
The initial meeting, held in 1840, denounced the blood libel accusation against Jews in Damascus and received favorable responses from foreign powers. Subsequent meetings in 1882 and 1890, supported by influential figures including religious leaders, scientists, and politicians, protested against anti-Jewish pogroms in the Russian Empire. These gatherings led to the establishment of the Mansion House Committee, later known as the Russo-Jewish Committee, which played a significant role in relocating and absorbing Jewish refugees, and raising and disbursing relief funds for pogrom victims.[1]
