A choice
A matter of choice (for a plumber)! The Plumbers’ Company have chosen - we support the Craft, the Craftsmen, the City and those less well off through our charity. At the same time we have fellowship and fun.
The Worshipful Company of Plumbers
How well do you know the City? Spend a day walking in the square mile, go past many Livery Halls but not the Plumbers’ as it was compulsorily purchased in the 1800s to make way for Cannon Street railway station.

Fatberg weekend details
Posted on 20th May 2018
Discover some hideous facts about London’s sewers and what lurks inside them at this interactive and immersive activity inspired by the Fatberg! display. Grab some rubber gloves to dissect a fake fatberg and meet some characters from the past and present who work down in London’s sewers. This is a drop-in activity, but we are limited to a capacity of 10 children at a time with each experience lasting approximately 15 minutes. In partnership with Open City. There’s also a talk with some of the curators and staff on the Fatberg on Monday 4 June at 7pm if it’s of interest, further details below and booking on the website here.
Learn how the monstrous Whitechapel fatberg went from sewer to showcase in this fascinating panel event. Explore the challenges of curating and conserving this disgusting mass, and see the fatberg samples close-up – if you dare! -

Along a river and up and up and down cliff by train!
A Social Trip with a difference. Not in or near London but all the way to Shropshire. The Master accompanied by a goodly number of Liverymen and partners visited the Severn valley Railway traveling by steam train for Bridgnorth to Kidderminster. In the evening an enjoyable dinner was followed by an illustrated talk on the Bridgnorth Cliff Railway was given by Steward Malvern Tipping, the Chairman of the Company owning the railway. On the morning of the second day all of the party, together with the Master and Clerk of the Gild of the Bridgnorth Freemen, met at the cliff railway’s Low Town station. Malvern conducted the party on a tour of the cliff railway and its winding room where they met both the general manager and the engineer. They were joined for a carvery lunch by the Mayor Ron Whittle OBE and his wife Cllr. Mrs. Carole Whittle. The visit concluded with a conducted tour of the town of Bridgnorth. For a more detailed account of the visit click here.
The Plumbers' Company looks forward to further visits in different parts of the United Kingdom.
