Amenities
Summary
Stationers’ Hall in London — home of the Worshipful Company of Stationers and Newspaper Makers, with origins from 1554. A 17th-century livery hall rebuilt after the Great Fire of London, near St Paul’s Cathedral. One of the City of London’s principal period hire venues.
About this location
Stationers’ Hall is the home of the Stationers’ Company, the ancient trade guild of printers and publishers incorporated in 1557. The current hall was built after the Great Fire of London and is a significant example of City of London livery hall architecture — formal reception rooms, period portraits, the accumulated furnishings of a 450-year-old institution. The hall occupies a court within the City near St Paul’s Cathedral — the area of medieval street patterns, Victorian commercial buildings, and the Wren church spires that survived the Second World War. For productions requiring a City of London livery hall — formal dining rooms, guild chambers, the historic architecture of London’s ancient trade institutions — Stationers’ Hall is one of the most accessible options in the City.
