Goldsmiths Review

Out of this world. The interiors and architecture are incredible. A must see in London. Next to St Paul's cathedral

The building inside is opulent and stunning. Remember to look up at the ceilings. I presume however that this site refers to Goldsmiths Hall near to St. Paul's off of Gresham St. A wonderful area to visit. Just remember to look around you and UP.

The visit to the 2017 Goldsmiths fair was great . From the reception to the jewelry on display...

The Goldsmiths Company is the place that regulates gold and silver manufacture and the application of hallmarks. The Company has a membership of individual top designers who exhibit their latest wares at the annual two-week Fair in the autumn. Located in the City of London on Fosters Lane just off Cheapside, not far from St Paul's Cathedral.

The oldest Assay Office in the UK - Goldsmiths have been assessing and stamping precious metals for 700 years!

Here are a few photos from the interior. The Vulliamy longcase clock is enormous.

The sculpture is King Edward III, who established the maker s mark in 1363.

But it was Henry III in 1238 who made the earliest attempt at regulating the standard of gold and silver wares.

Fraud has been happening since time immemorial!

The office is majestic looking and well worth a visit if only to see the decor itself, even the bathrooms look beautiful! I had been to the Goldsmith's Company for a seminar and the staff were very helpful and we were well looked after by the staff. If you're a jewellery designer looking to get your pieces hallmarked, the London Goldsmith's Company Assay Office staff are very helpful and informative and are happy to answer any questions you might have, big or small.

Beautiful building, some fab exhibition on display at various times.

What a beautiful space. Really worth a visit on the rare days that it is open to the public. This has appeared in SO many films, from Harry Potter to James Bond!

The place where hallmarks are given to pieces of silver and gold. There are annual, two week long Fairs held in Foster Lane, City of London, usually September/October, where member artisans display their latest designs - very well worth a visit.

Not open to everybody but if you are lucky enough to be invited then you not be disappointed. Great service, great ambience and a great experience.

Brilliant! Goldsmiths Hall , home of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths, I am a honoured to be Freeman of this Livery Company.

I ran into this by chance after visiting the Bank of England and we were hesitant to enter given how posh it was. The building was filled with ornate decorations highly befitting of its contents and we explored the exhibition in wonder. The pieces on display were extremely extravagant and representative of a life quite unlike mine, so have a look if you're keen on what's happening way up in society!
