In 1862 the directors of the National Provincial Bank of England decided to build their head office in Bishopsgate. They sought to erect a building that would facilitate the needs of the bank well into the future. The design was entrusted to John Gibson and his building was to serve the bank as head office for over a century. In recognition of his work and services to architecture, the Royal Institute of British Architects awarded him their Gold Medal in 1890.

Inside the hall there are numerous features relating to its banking history.
