Merchant Taylors Hall

About the venue

Welcome to Merchant Taylors' Hall, the ideal venue in which to host an unforgettable event.

Private and corporate events ranging from luncheons, dinners, banquets, weddings and receptions through to operas and concerts are all expertly provided for, in beautifully appointed rooms accompanied by some of the best traditional and international cuisine that London has to offer. The Hall has been located at its present site between Threadneedle Street and Cornhill since 1347. Despite the Great Fire in 1666 and the Blitz in World War II, both of which severely damaged parts of the building, many elements have been preserved and the building wonderfully restored. The numerous rooms (plus one of our best-kept secrets, a beautiful inner courtyard) can cater for small parties, or up to 300 guests for formal dinners and luncheons, and 400-plus for buffets/receptions. Wheelchair access is available throughout the Hall, including to those rooms situated on the second floor via a lift. The Hall is a "wireless" internet zone and LAN PC cards can be provided to enable wireless connection to the internet via clients' laptops or hand held PCs. Catering is provided by our team-in-residence from the Great Kitchen, which has been in continuous use (but very much modernised!) since 1425. To accompany your meal we stock an impressive range of fine wines and champagnes, all personally selected by our Cellar Master. Classic cocktails and original creations can also be served, along with delicious non-alcoholic beverages.
