The Worshipful Company of Barbers Barber-Surgeons' Hall was established in Monkwell Street in the 14th century. The Hall survived the Great Fire, but was destroyed by enemy bombing in the London Blitz in the Second World War. The modern hall was rebuilt approximately 10m to the east of the former site, in Monkwell Square[1] by architect Terry Farrell.
