INTRODUCTION

LOCATED IN THE HEART OF THE CITY OF LONDON, DRAPERS’ HALL PROVIDES A MAJESTIC SETTING FOR ANY EVENT.

On the site of the present Drapers’ Hall, once part of the Augustinian Priory, Thomas Cromwell built his palace in the 1530s. After his execution, the property was purchased by the Guild of Drapers in 1543 from Henry VIII.
