City Walk and Drink

Chartered Accountants’ Hall One Moorgate Place, London, United Kingdom

Please join us for a fascinating walk and a little competition! Start: Business Centre  Chartered Accountants Hall at 5.30pm on Tuesday 3rd May Bring a small team (3-5) or we will put you in teams. There will be a prize for the winning team! The walk is approximately two miles and is suitable for people in wheelchairs. It will finish with drinks and canapes in the St Paul’s area. On this walk you will discover how this square mile maintained a global empire through its control of trading, skills and culture. See how formal trading was initially centred on 17th century coffee houses in alleys between the River Thames and the Royal Exchange.  Edward Lloyds’ Coffee House was the best attended and grew into a vital business in the City. Learn how the 110 livery companies controlled the skills of the traders through their guilds.  Find evidence of the Anglican church spreading its word through that very same trading empire and having its own impact. You will witness how the Square Mile first supported slavery and then mercifully turned its influence to abolish this abhorrent trade. To assist this narrative the walk will take you past The Bank of England, the site of former coffee houses, the offices of various City institutions, The Mansion House, Guildhall, The London Stock Exchange and St Paul’s Cathedral.

History of Tax – Paying for the Renaissance (online event)

On Zoom

Have you ever wondered how the Renaissance was paid for? Florence was one of Italy’s richest city-states but also one whose rulers were acutely conscious of both the shortfalls of the tax base on which it rested and the problems the tax system was causing (such as depopulation). The talk will cover what was taxed and how as well as other features of Florentine finance that tackled tax evasion. The speaker Andrew Loader is a former history scholar of Christ’s College, Cambridge and Past Consort of the Worshipful Company of Tax Advisers. This event will be on zoom, is free to attend and no prior booking is necessary.
