Merchant Taylors’ is a flourishing Livery Company in the heart of the City of London, dedicated to Fraternity, Education and Philanthropy. Our tour starts with tea/coffee (included) and lasts around an hour.

As one of the Great Twelve Livery Companies, the Company evolved from medieval London's trade guilds. These organisations took their name, livery, from the distinctive dress of their members and oversaw their respective crafts, regulating the trade and tradesmen across the city.

Today, Merchant Taylors' Company is a community made up of people from a range of backgrounds, but all of whom share an interest in doing more good together than they could as individuals. The Company's activities range from supporting charitable initiatives, high-quality education (both state and independent) and it plays an active role within the City of London's administrative and ceremonial life.
