Dutch Hall for private dinners, cocktail receptions and workshops
A renovated church dating back to 1550, the Dutch Hall at 7 Austin Friars is Grade II listed and blends original character with contemporary design, a hidden gem in the City.
Seclusion near three stations
Liverpool Street, Moorgate and Bank stations are each a few minutes' walk away, yet the hall stays central and secluded, giving the privacy of a quiet address in the centre of town. That position suits conferences minutes from Bank and meetings that need an easy arrival.
Great Hall, Reception Room, Library
The Great Hall seats 180 and takes 380 standing, the Reception Room seats 80 or takes 200, and the Library seats 12 or takes 26. The three spaces can be hired individually or in combination.
Walls that date to 1550
Meetings, workshops and exhibitions are held in a building with deep roots, and a 1550 backdrop sits comfortably beside the contemporary design features.
Mixing across rooms, catering on site
With 380 standing across the venue, cocktail receptions and private dinners bring guests together, and mingling across the three spaces is easy when they are hired in combination. A catering space is located on the premises, and with 180 seated at most, a Christmas dinner, a summer celebration or an awards evening can be arranged around the Great Hall, while product launches fit the same layout.
