Well worth a visit ! The guildhall is beautiful inside and outside. This must see landmark looks like a church, but it is not one.The architecture is stunning (it has been refurbished recently !) The stained glass windows were donated by the Guilds of London, hence the name. It is free to the public. It is gorgeous & educational thanks to the historic exhibit. Let us not forget the huge organ in the main hall ! There is a good café at the back of the building and a nice view of the river and the peace bridge.
