The
Merchant Taylors' Hall, Threadneedle Street
Standing
on an 'extensive site' in Threadneedle Street on ground
once owned by Edmund Crepin in the late fourteenth century.
Rebuilt after the Great Fire, the structure pictured above
was much altered and modernized in the late eighteenth
century. Because this hall was so large it was often let
out for public meetings and occasions. The Hall was severely
damaged during World War II, but was repaired and re-opened
in 1959.
