Revisiting the Proud History of The Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths

Located off the bustling Gresham Street, Goldsmith’s Garden stands on what was once the Churchyard of St John Zachary. Its serene green space offers one of London’s best-kept secrets— an escape from the urban hustle in the heart of one of Europe’s biggest cities.

The park offers more than just silent serenity; it carries the unheard tales of an influential guild, The Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths. Founded in 1327, the company has notably left its mark, quite literally, on each piece of precious metal within the realm. This practice birthed the term “hallmark.”

This quaint garden exhibits several golden, feline-shaped emblems of the company, serving as a silent yet bold testament to the influence and power of the guild in the past. Their headquarters stand tall nearby, further uniting the past and the present.

Step into the World of Art and Craftsmanship with “The Three Printers”

Your tour around the Goldsmith’s Garden will also lead you to a distinctive work of art that distinctly reflects London’s history— “The Three Printers,” a stone-carved tribute to outstanding craftsmanship that this land has witnessed. Commissioned by the Westminster Press Group and created by Wilfred Dudeney, this compelling piece lends further depth to the park.

Through this stonework, the Goldsmith’s Garden reconnects you with the age when the print industry thrived along Fleet Street, symbolizing London’s creative spirit and relentless drive.
