HISTORY OF THE MEETING VENUE

Apothecaries' Hall, the oldest extant livery company hall in the City of London, was built on the site of a former Dominican priory and acquired by the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries in 1632. After the original hall was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666, a new one was built on the same site, completed in 1672, and later underwent significant renovations in the 1780s. The Hall has been the center of the Society's activities, including the large-scale manufacture of drugs, from its inception until 1922, though the Society continues its work as a medical licensing body today.
