The Mermaid London
Carrie’s expert take
“The Mermaid is particularly strong when you need a proper auditorium but don’t want the whole event to feel like a conventional conference centre. You can hold the main session in the 600-seat Auditorium, use the other spaces for networking, catering or breakouts, and the River Rooms give you those fantastic Thames views for receptions and dinners. It’s a very flexible venue and the Blackfriars location makes it easy for delegates coming from both London and further afield”
Once home to a fully functioning theatre, The Mermaid London, situated by Blackfriars bridge in the heart of the City of London, is now a vibrant, versatile and blank canvas conference and events venue for consumer and corporate events.
The venue has nine flexible spaces and can cater to as few as 80 people up to the maximum capacity of 1,992. At the heart of the venue is the Auditorium, the only 600-seated auditorium in the City of London. With unrivalled sight lines to the stage, state-of-the-art sound and audio-visual capabilities and matches conferences, product launches, live productions and even banquets perfectly.
For a versatile blank canvas space, the River Rooms, home to the Upper River Room, Lower River Room and Queenhithe, offer clean lines and an open-plan layout with spectacular panoramic views of London iconic landmarks such as Tate Modern, Shakespeare’s Globe and The Shard. The River Rooms is ideal for smaller conferences and meetings and private parties and weddings.
