Guildhall

Take your guests on a journey of nearly 2000 years…

Home to the City of London Corporation and still the centre of government in the City of London, the impressive interiors of the Grade I-listed landmark provide the perfect setting for any occasion, large or small, daytime or evening – across eleven versatile spaces including the grand Great Hall, atmospheric crypts, and modern art gallery.

Steeped in history (once the stage for state trials such as that of Lady Jane Grey) the vast medieval Great Hall with a soaring, high-arched ceiling and two huge, Gothic stained-glass windows emblazoned with the names of past Lord Mayors is available for daytime, evening and all-day hire and naturally lends itself to large dinners and receptions. The Old Library and Print room, built in 1872 and once home to 126,000 books, offer maximum versatility and Victorian neo-Gothic grandeur for a range of events.

The venue is ideal for national celebrations, corporate dinners, conferences, and exhibitions, offering a spectacular and memorable backdrop for large and small-scale events, whilst also being fully equipped for modern event needs.
