historyPlaisterers' Hall is the largest and one of the finest Livery Halls in London. Opened in 1972 and situated in the heart of the City of London, it reflects the grandeur of a bygone era but in an ultra modern setting. The Company's first Hall was bequeathed to the Company by William Elder, Citizen and Plaisterer in 1556. It was situated at the corner of Addle Street and Philip Lane and destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666. The second Hall was built in 1669 from the design of Sir Christopher Wren, but this was also destroyed by fire in 1882. The present Hall, opened in November 1972 has décor throughout of the neo-classical style created by Robert Adam in the 18th Century. His various designs have been faithfully reproduced in great detail both on plaster and wood, some being taken from his original moulds.
