 Traditional modern building. The haberdashers were hat makers. Along with the merchant taylors,who made clothes, a success in their day.

Both founded schools which are still educating young people in north London. Haberdashers boys school, and Haberdashers' girls school are both in Borehamwood.

If you are near the old Smithfield Market, in London, near Farringdon station, you might pass by the entrance to the very modern Haberdashers building. It has a central courtyard, sculptures, and upstairs rooms hired out for events. 

Security at the door will direct you to any event you are visiting, after checking that you are on the list.

I attended an Italian wine tasting and wine pairing event there which is described in another post.

Zonin1821 Portfolio Tasting 2026

At the Zonin1821 event, we had an Italian buffet downstairs alongside the courtyard. A short spiralling stair, or lift, takes you up to the second level. This has a long gallery with mixture of small dining rooms and much larger halls.

The venue can also be hired for weddings. The ground floor is a great place for a stand up buffet lunch. The upstairs rooms with tables and portraits around the walls suits small or large seated dinners.
