Guildhall, Gothic administrative center in City of London, United Kingdom
The Guildhall spans over 150 feet in length and features a grand hall with stone walls, vaulted ceilings, and intricate medieval architectural details.
Built in 1411 and completed in 1440, the Guildhall survived the Great Fire of London in 1666 and was restored after bombing damage in 1940.
The Guildhall Library maintains extensive collections of London's historical documents, maps, and registers dating from the 11th century forward.
The Great Hall accommodates 900 guests, while additional rooms like the Old Library, Livery Hall, and Crypts provide space for various event types.
The Roman Amphitheatre remains lie beneath the building, discovered during archaeological excavations between 1987 and 1988.
