G is for ... Guildhall Art Gallery

Established in the late 19th century as a collection of art treasures worthy of the capital city, the Guildhall Art Gallery soon lived up to this ambition, with exhibitions that featured world famous masterpieces and works by some great artists. Today, the Gallery’s focus is to collect works of direct relevance to the capital, whether in relation to the artist or to the subject of the work, and to programme exhibitions and events with a focus on London. Within this, the Gallery endeavours to acquire works of art and run public programmes which are representative of all Londoners, and to be an art gallery about London for London.

Also within the grounds of Guildhall Art Gallery is London's Roman Amphitheatre. which was once have been a venue for wild animal fights, public executions and gladiatorial combats.

WHATSAPP GROUP FOR ATTENDEES:
Join the event WhatsApp group for chat, changes and live location updates. The group link will be shared the week of the event with people who have RSVPd as 'Going'. Please note that joining will make your phone number visible to other members.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• LoMAZ events are run by volunteers. We have an attendee limit to help the host manage the event. We prefer a smaller, friendlier group.
• If the event is sold out, Meetup adds you to the Waitlist. If someone drops out, waitlisted attendees are automatically moved to the 'Going' list by Meetup in order of priority.
• If you can no longer attend, please change your RSVP to 'Not Going' as soon as possible. This lets someone on the waitlist take your place.

We remove members from the LoMAZ Meetup group who:

• RSVP as ‘Going' but then do not show up three times in a row.
• RSVP as ‘Going' but then change their RSVP to 'No' five times in a row.
• are on the Waitlist or who have not RSVPd, but turn up anyway.

Thank you! — The LoMAZ Admin Team
