Guildhall

Guildhall

Guildhall has been the City powerhouse since the twelfth century.
In an era when the Lord Mayor of London rivalled the monarch for influence and prestige, this was where he and the ruling merchant class held court, fine-tuned the laws and trading regulations that helped create London’s wealth.

Nowadays, 800 years on, Guildhall is still home of the City of London Corporation, and acts as a grand setting for glittering banquets in honour of visiting Heads of State and other dignitaries, royal occasions, and receptions for major historical anniversaries.

Situated in the heart of the City of London, the world’s leading financial and business centre, this rare and magnificent medieval Grade I listed landmark offers a spectacular backdrop for corporate events and banquets. With a clientele that includes leading international companies, charities, organisations, professional and academic bodies, Guildhall offers a unique combination of an esteemed historical setting whilst being fully equipped with excellent facilities for modern business requirements.

Guildhall is managed by the City Remembrancer’s Office which was established during the reign of Elizabeth I. All applications for using Guildhall must be approved by the Chief Commoner on a recommendation by the City Remembrancer.

History of Guildhall

Guildhall, built between 1411 and 1440, was designed to reflect the importance of London’s ruling elite. In the 21 century its splendour is still awe-inspiring, and within the walls of this national treasure lie six spectacular rooms providing unique surroundings for corporate and private hospitality.

The ideal location for conferences, high profile meetings, lunches, receptions, dinners, and award ceremonies, Guildhall has no equal. Perfect for prestigious occasions, whether an elegant black-tie dinner, international conference or a more intimate meeting or presentation, Guildhall will enhance it.

Of course, it’s not just this unique setting that creates a memorable event. The combination of history and tradition with the very latest state-of-the-art built-in communication technology helps to ensure that events are effective and smooth-running.
