Merchant Taylors' Hall is a historic building located in the City of London, Middlesex, which has served as the headquarters of the Worshipful Company of Merchant Taylors since the fourteenth century. The hall dates substantially from the sixteenth century, though it has undergone considerable reconstruction and alteration following damage during the Great Fire of London in 1666 and subsequent restoration work. The building exemplifies the architecture and craftsmanship of its period, featuring timber-framed construction with later masonry elements, and retains interior spaces of considerable historical and architectural interest including a great hall and livery hall. As one of London's oldest livery company halls still in use, it represents the sustained institutional presence and commercial importance of the merchant tailoring trade in medieval and post-medieval London.
