This weekend was the Annual Dinner of the London and Home Counties Association. This is held at one of the City Livery Halls, The Innholders’ Hall which is tucked away behind Cannon Street Station.
The Hall is a wonderful setting for a formal dinner. The Grand Dining Room is oak panelled and once lit with candles and candelabra it really does look beautiful. There were, I think over 70 people and the meal was excellent. The Innholders have a Michelin starred chef.
The Guild dates back to the 1300s and moved to a Hall on the current site in 1521. It was rebuilt in 1670 following the Great Fire and the Dining Room has been little altered since.
