Designed by Philip Hardwick in 1835, the Hall replaced an earlier building by Inigo Jones which had fallen into disrepair. Recently, its increased use for public functions, including exhibitions and concerts, led to our brief for re-planning the inadequate services and accommodation and restoring the principal rooms.
The basement now contains cloakrooms, staff rooms and toilets, accessed from a stair inserted below the great principal staircase. The magnificent Livery Hall and State Rooms are fully restored, with George Aitchison's 1892 colour scheme re-created in the Livery Hall.
A special exhibition inaugurated by H.M. The Queen marked the re-opening of the building.
Client: The Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths
