Goldsmiths' Hall Guided Tour - 11:00

In 2026, we are throwing open the doors of Goldsmiths’ Hall for four days of guided tours. Giving you the chance to experience the palatial grandeur of our grade one listed building on a 60-minute guided tour of its principal rooms with our Librarians and Archivists, and to see some of the treasures from our collection under the guidance of our Curators. A rare opportunity to step inside one of the City of London’s hidden treasures that is not regularly open to the public, on a site that has been home to the Goldsmiths’ Company for seven centuries!
