The London Coachmakers' Friendly Society was founded in 1842 or 1843. It was later renamed the London Coachmakers' Trade Union and the London Coach Body and Carriage Makers' Trade Union and became the London and Provincial Coachmakers' Trade Union in 1908. It was one of the four unions that amalgamated to form the National Union of Vehicle Builders in 1919.

Custodial History
In the 1970s, the Transport and General Workers' Union deposited older records of the NUVB and its predecessors, including those of the London and Provincial Coachmakers' Society, in the Vehicle Building and Automotive Museum that it had established in Coventry. The museum opened in 1976 and closed in 1980, when the records were transferred to the union's regional office. They were transferred to the Modern Records Centre in June 1987.
