The Steel Yard for conferences, receptions and dinners under Victorian arches
Three restored Victorian railway arches sit beneath Canon Bridge Station at 13-16 All Hallows Lane, and the stone architecture frames whatever is staged inside. A Victorian cargo hoist is built into the ceiling and the room also has a mezzanine level, details that fill the space with character.
220 for dinner, 900 for canapés
Seated lunches and dinners suit up to 220 guests, and a canapé reception takes up to 900 under a 1am licence, so delegate sessions in the capital can finish with a drinks reception on the same floor. Set in the heart of the city, the impressive stone architecture also gives conferences with a striking backdrop before a word is spoken.
A lighting rig with 18 fixtures
Over 40 LED down lighters can produce any colour of the spectrum, and an 18 fixture moving head rig adds movement, so atmospheric launches are well served.
Dinners, awards and company nights
Corporate hosts can use the arches for dinners and receptions, and with full production support on hand an awards evening gets the lighting it needs. The stone architecture is a backdrop that hosts can dress to suit the occasion, from a company dinner to a celebration.
