London/Livery Companies

Overview

There are 114 Livery companies in the City of London (and two "unliveried" ones which are closely associated with them). From ongoing research...

• 44 of these presently have a hall which is the original or sole headquarters of the company;
• 34 share one with another company;
• 30 don't;
• 4 no longer have one but the site is marked by a blue plaque or other memorial.

This page was created as a response to note 4260406 because it was discovered that a convention for tagging these objects in OSM has never been formally established. This is because livery companies, and thus their halls, are a sui generis combination of merchant guild, trade association, social club, and charitable organisation. Rather than a mix of existing tags, therefore, it is suggested that...

• building=livery_hall
• company=livery_company
• name=<name of livery company>

...on the building way (or relation if a multipolygon) for the hall's primary company makes sense. Other companies that use the hall are represented as nodes.

Note these lists are probably not complete and do not claim to be.

Former Livery Halls

These places may still exist with a new role, or be merely the sites of where halls once stood.

Note that many halls have been built and lost over the centuries so a company may be listed here with an existing hall elsewhere - these are asterisked
