Stationers’ Hall is a Grade I listed building, close to St Paul’s Cathedral. It is one of the few ancient Livery Halls remaining in the City of London, originally completed in 1673.

The Stationers’ Company originated in 1403 when the Mayor of the City of London approved the formation of a stationers’ guild, whose members were text writers and illuminators of manuscript books, booksellers, bookbinders and suppliers of parchment, pens and paper.

A stationer was one who traded from a ‘stationery’ stall round St Paul’s Cathedral.
