The site of the Upholders' Hall, the previous headquarters of the Worshipful Company of Upholders, one of the Livery Companies of the City of London. Basically, a medieval guild. That exists today. With 109 others. Today, most of them just provide charity, but they still keep their privileges in the election system of the City of London and some of them have actually some real power, e.g. the Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers comprises licensed taxi drivers who have passed the "Knowledge of London" test (although they are mostly regulated by the TfL Taxi and Private Hire office).
