The Guildhall
The City of London has
been governed from this site for over 800 years. The present
Guildhall was built in the early 1400s, and it is the
headquarters of the Corporation of London, the governing
authority for the City of London. The Great Hall is open to
the public (10am to 5pm) and is the setting for magnificent
state occasions, ceremonies, banquets, and important
statements on the economy. In the West wing is the Guildhall
Library, a fine resource for books (some very rare) on ancient London, and from where I am now sitting writing this
piece.
