Claim: The Worshipful Company of Information Technologies, which has over 800 members, has its own hall, which is located on Bartholomew Close, near Barbican tube station, a London Underground station which was opened in 1865..
Evidence: The company has over 800 members – all currently or formerly senior practitioners in the information technology industry. The Information Technologists' Company is unusual for a 'modern' (post 1926) livery company in that it has its own hall. The hall is located on Bartholomew Close, near to Barbican tube station, and was bought largely thanks to the generosity of Dame Stephanie Shirley and others. It has been known by various names since its opening in 1865, mostly in reference to the neighbouring ward of Aldersgate. Barbican is a London Underground station situated near the Barbican Estate, on the edge of the ward of Farringdon Within, in the City of London in Central London.
