The Institute’s of Chartered Accountants’ headquarters building is Chartered Accountants’ Hall, built in 1890 to the design of the eminent Victorian architect, Sir John Belcher RA.
As the Institute’s membership and activities have grown the building has been extended. Once in the 1930s in a similar architectural style and again in the 1960s to a more modern design, by the architect Sir William Whitfield.
A Grade II listed building, Chartered Accountants’ Hall attracts the attention of architectural students and historians and many of the original features have been retained and restored. The exterior of the building features a carved stone frieze by Hamo Thorneycroft and the interior decoration includes works of art by Eduardo Paolozzi, Gerald Benney and John Piper.
In a time of modern steel and glass structures, Chartered Accountants’ Hall remains one of the City’s hidden masterpieces.
The beautiful function rooms of Chartered Accountants` Hall were featured in the Channel Five series `Behind closed doors`, on Wednesday 10 September at 11:30am.
During August, Channel Five filmed aspects of the historic venue for this architecture-based series, which concentrates in this episode on the financial community in London. Other institutions to be featured will be the Bank of England and Lloyds Building.
