A Secret Life of The Livery Hall – The City of London
A SECRET LIFE OF THE LIVERY HALL – THE CITY OF LONDON
In our view, some of the most outstanding discreet and audacious historic architecture and interiors in The City of London are home to the splendid, sacred and secret world of the livery hall. Informal trade guilds began to form during the early Middle Ages and these associations became the first Livery Companies. Originally charged to act as formal Governance Bodies for their namesake trades, the Companies also offered fraternal, religious and social aspects to their members. The majority of Livery Halls survived the Great Fire of London in 1666 and were then built on or rebuilt for their members during the 1800s.
