Apothecaries' Hall, London, Grade I listed building in City of London, England.

The headquarters of the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries features three main rooms including the Great Hall with its 24-branch candelabrum ceiling centerpiece.

Following destruction in the Great Fire of London in 1666, the hall was rebuilt in 1672 incorporating remaining 13th-century walls from the Dominican priory.

The Society evolved from a medieval trade guild to become a recognized institution for licensing medical practitioners and providing specialized medical education.

The venue at Black Friars Lane maintains facilities for professional events, academic lectures, and ceremonies related to medicine and pharmaceutical studies.

From 1672 to 1922, the hall operated an Elaboratory for manufacturing medical products, supplying medicines to the navy, army, and East India Company.
