Venue

Stationers’ Hall is a Grade I listed building, close to St Paul's Cathedral. It is one of the few ancient Livery Halls remaining in the City of London. Completed in 1673 after the Great Fire of London, the Hall's suite of three imposing, inter-linking rooms makes it one of the most sought after venues in the City. Tucked away yet in the City of London, the Hall's secluded garden is an oasis, the perfect setting for our annual summer drinks.

The Hall & Heritage

In 1403 the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of London approved the formation of a fraternity or Guild of Stationers. Each Stationer appointed a warden to control and regulate them.  By the early 16th century printers had joined The Stationers' Company and by the mid century the printers had more or less ousted the manuscript trade. In 1557 the Guild received a Royal Charter of Incorporation and in 1559, the right to wear a distinctive livery. They became a livery company, numbered 47 in precedence.  The Stationers' Charter secured them from outside competition, but they had to settle their own internal disputes, which mostly concerned infringements of ownership of 'copies' or what we would now call copyright.
