No I Poultry seen here in the 1880s and the 1980s.

Many Londoners assume that the postmodern building opposite the Royal Exchange replaced something destroyed by bomb damage. In fact, the listed grade two 1870s built Victorian building that once stood there was destroyed in the 1990s, after three public inquiries, and even the intervention of the House of Lords and the Prince of Wales. The battle for No 1 Poultry began in 1958, when Lord Rudolph Palumbo bought the freehold of the Royal Jewelers Mappin and Webb headoffice building and planned to replace it. After all Victorian architecture had gone out of favour and instead postmodernism had arrived with the strive to rebuild London. So after a fight of over 35 years the building eventually succumbed to the wrecking ball.

Royal Warrants

Royal Warrant Holders or Purveyors to the Court are companies or individuals who provide a good or service to the royal court. Not all companies the royal buy items from are issued royal warrants and just because a company has one doesn't mean that they are the exclusive supplier of that product. The companies chosen are usually older and have a history of working with the royal family. Each country has a slightly different set of rules but in most of them the warrants have to be renewed on a regular basis and can be revoked at any time.

I only included countries that I could find a list for like I know Spain issues royal warrants but I can't find a list of them. Some abolished monarchies like Romania still issue royal warrants and some countries like Japan and Norway don't issue them anymore despite still being monarchies.

United Kingdom - Royal Warrant Holders - Over 800 - In the UK, royal warrants are issued from individuals not by the court as a whole. In the past the monarch, consort, and heir have been able to grant them and some companies may have a warrant from multiple people at once. They are good for two years after the grantor passes away so at the moment there are some from Queen Elizabeth II (686 total) and the Duke of Edinburgh (38 total) that are up in the air. I expect King Charles (159 already) will issue new warrants to replace some given by his parents but not all of them. The only jeweler that does not already have one from him is G. Collins & Sons who were QEII's personal jewelers.
