Watercolour of a national institution
The Law Society (Hall of the Law Society of England and Wales).
The Hall opened to members in 1832 as the purpose‑built home of the newly professionalised solicitor body, replacing the more informal coffee‑house and tavern venues where they had previously met.
Amazingly It took more than 75 years to piece together the full Chancery Lane site, as the Society gradually bought up neighbouring houses, warehouses and outbuildings as they became available.
Outside is lovely but inside is amazing as well. The library is often picked out as one of the most atmospheric rooms, with fireplaces, columns and club‑like seating designed to lend the Society the air of a learned gentleman’s club as much as a workplace.
 
Interesting fact..
It has a link with the tube stations. Charles Holden designed the Law Society’s 1902–04 extension at 113 Chancery Lane, and he later became best known for his many London Underground stations and other Transport for London buildings.
