The Goldsmiths' Centre is a visionary new development that will become a hub for members of the Jewellery, Silversmithing and Allied Trades, the local community and the general public - a unique space in which to work, learn and relax.

We are delighted to announce that this new state of the art development for the Jewellery, Silversmithing and Allied Trades is currently under construction in Clerkenwell, due to open in early 2012.

Located in the heart of Clerkenwell, an area of central London long-associated with the silversmithing and jewellery trades, the purpose-built Centre will offer workshops, fully-equipped training areas, conference and exhibition space and a café open to the public.
