Venue

Ironmongers’ Hall

Ironmongers’ Hall is a Grade II listed neo-Jacobean Livery Hall, built following irreparable damage to the Company’s previous hall during a daylight raid by German Gotha bombers in World War I. The Hall has been home to the Ironmongers for 100 years, celebrating its centenary in 2025. It survived an especially ferocious bombing on the night of 29 December 1940, which destroyed 17 livery halls and many other buildings in the City. The Hall is host to a number of treasures, most notably the original William Morris tapestry wall coverings in the Drawing Room (modelled on hangings in Morris’ own home) and a portrait of Samuel, 1st Viscount Hood on the upper landing, painted by Thomas Gainsborough in 1784.
