Goldsmiths' Hall photo 1
Goldsmiths' Hall, a Grade I listed building located at the junction of Foster Lane and Gresham Street in the City of London, serves as the headquarters for the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths, one of the city's historic livery companies. Established in 1339, the current hall is the third on the site, designed by Philip Hardwick and featuring stunning marble statues representing the Four Seasons. The hall has a rich history, including notable events such as Samuel Pepys' attendance at a funeral in 1665 and surviving a bomb explosion during World War II. Visitors can occasionally explore this magnificent structure during open days, making it a fascinating destination for tourists and researchers alike.
