from Wikipedia:
Despite their generally negative depiction in the Bible, Lord Mayors of the City of London carry images of Gog and Magog (depicted as giants) in a traditional procession in the Lord Mayor's Show. According to the tradition, the giants Gog and Magog are guardians of the City of London, and images of them have been carried in the Lord Mayor's Show since the days of King Henry V.

You're welcome! The letters looked right, but I wasn't sure about the London connection until I looked it up - Wikipedia is awesome! ;)
