Many Companies still operate a hall, where members and their guests can be entertained and company business transacted. Among the earliest Companies known to have had halls are the Merchant Taylors and Goldsmiths in the 14th century, but neither theirs nor other Companies' original halls remain; the few survivors of the Great Fire of London, along with many reconstructions, were destroyed during the Blitz of the Second World War.

Today, only some forty Companies have halls in London, which are commonly available for business and social functions, such as commercial and society meetings and dinners; the oldest extant hall now is that of the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries, dating from 1672.


Im still updating this list feel free to add?
