The London Institution was founded in 1805 "for the advancement of literature and the diffusion of useful knowledge". It was run by a Committee of Managers and the ordinary members were "Proprietors" or life-subscribers to the Institution.

Its first premises were in Old Jewry, then King's Arms Yard and in 1819 a new building was completed in Finsbury Circus. As well as possessing a very large library, the Institution was noted for its lectures (especially on scientific subjects). An amalgamation with the Society of Arts was mooted in 1906, but never took place.

Ms 02749-59 were purchased by Guildhall Library in 1926.
