"One of the grandest of the City's livery halls, the Goldsmiths is open a few days a year for public tours, and the next batch of tickets has gone on sale. The hall is large, opulently decorated, and packed with history. As it's rarely open to the public, it makes for a memorable place to visit. Tours last about an hour and each tour can accommodate up to 40 people at a charge of £10 per person, which goes to the Goldsmiths' Company Charity."
"The next two tours will take place on Monday 10th November 2025 and tickets for the 10:30am tours are here, and for the 12:30pm tours are here. Tickets must be booked in the name of the person/people who are attending - photo ID that matches the name on the booking will be required to gain entry. Goldsmith's Hall is on Foster Lane, a short walk from St Paul's (Central line) or Barbican (Elizabeth, Metropolitan, Circle lines) tube stations."
"If you can't get in on a tour, then the building is also open during the annual Goldsmiths' Fair, but only a part of it. The Goldsmiths' Hall is not just a grand building for a livery company, once a year it also becomes an official court of law for the Trial of the Pyx."
