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.

Bruton in Somerset has always been a lovely picturesque village, but today it is home to many wonderful shops, café's, restaurants and art galleries many of which are creatively aligned with WOOLF Interior Architecture & Design. As a High End Interior Design studio based both in Bath and London, we share an affinity with the new and emerging enterprises that have emerged in Frome, Bradford-on-Avon and Bruton. The village of Bruton dates back at least the Domesday Book of 1086 and has experienced an influx of new activity and creativity in recent years, leading it to be labelled the “next Chipping Norton” with British Vogue calling it “the new Notting Hill”.
