Information Technologists' Hall is the most recently established of the livery halls in the City of London. It is the hall and headquarters of the Worshipful Company of Information Technologists, one of the privileged livery companies of the City, but a modern one, receiving its livery in on 7 January 1992, becoming the City's 100th livery company. It received a Royal Charter in 2010.
The company's livery hall is in a building of 1984, which is still a Grade II listed building, as part of the Founders' Hall development.[1] As the Company's livery hall, Information Technologists' Hall was opened in September 2001: the first new livery hall to open in the City of London for over 50 years. It is to be found in the tangle of small streets in the north of the City which were the old mediæval alleys, now places of modern offices and apartment buildings on the old pattern of narrow alleys.
The hall was acquired in 2001 by a donation of £5 million from Dame Stephanie Shirley, a founder member of the Court of the Company and its first woman Master (in 1992). A further £1 million was raide from members for the refurbishment of the building.[2]
The hall provides a permanent home for the social and charitable activities of the Information Technologists' Company and provides room available for hire.
