Huguenot French Fanmakers
Following the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, French Protestant (Huguenot) refugees revitalized London's handheld fan-making industry. Many settled in the Cripplegate and Spitalfields areas. The Worshipful Company of Fan Makers—which received its Royal Charter in 1709—held its early common halls nearby
Fortune St.
Site of the FORTUNE THEATRE
The original Fortune Theatre (built in 1600) is one of the most important historical sources for understanding Elizabethan theatre. Because its original building contracts still survive, it provides historians with the clearest, most detailed blueprint we have of how Renaissance playhouses were constructed and operated

BARBERS SURGEONS HALL
The most famous herbalist of the Elizabethan era is John Gerard. His landmark 1597 publication, The Herball, or Generall Historie of Plantes, remains the defining botanical and pharmaceutical reference for the period. He was master of the Barber-Surgeons' Company. He famously cultivated one of England's earliest botanical gardens in Holborn, London, and later designed a physic garden for the Barber-Surgeons' Hall in 1597.

West Wing
Repetition of vertical fins and by the sculptural complexity of the use of faceted shapes of gothic character for the projecting aldermen’s court room and the arcade connecting with the Guildhall itself, it is, perhaps, an example of what Ernő Goldfinger dismissed as “pop modern”.
Medieval Great Hall
Built between 1411 and 1440, it is the third-largest civic hall in England and the only surviving secular stone structure from before the Great Fire of London
Crypts
Situated directly beneath the Great Hall, these are the largest surviving medieval crypts in London. They feature ribbed vaulting supported by Purbeck marble and limestone columns
