Over six halls over 500 years, that's history and resilience.
Clothworkers’ Hall is the historic headquarters of the Worshipful Company of Clothworkers, one of London’s great livery companies, and it stands in the City of London on Dunster Court off Mincing Lane. The present building is the sixth hall on that site, reflecting a long history shaped by fire, war, and rebuilding.
Founded in 1528 from the union of the Fullers’ and Shearmen’s Companies, originally to regulate and support the textile trade. Today, the company is mainly charitable and civic, with the hall serving as its social and administrative base.
The current hall opened in 1958 after the fifth hall was destroyed in the Blitz during the Second World War. Earlier halls were lost or replaced over time, including one destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666.
