London, EC2V 7HH

Guildhall

The present Guildhall was built in 1411 and, having survived both the Great Fire of London and the Blitz, it is the only secular stone structure dating from before 1666 still standing in the City. With 27m high ceilings and a cathedral-like ambience, the historic building is situated on top of London’s largest medieval crypts. Guildhall Great Hall is the third largest civic hall in England, where royalty and state visitors have been entertained throughout the centuries. It has been the setting for famous state trials, including that of Lady Jane Grey in 1553. The imposing medieval hall has stained glass windows and several monuments to national heroes including Admiral Lord Nelson, the Duke of Wellington and Sir Winston Churchill.

Guildhall invites guests on a journey of over 800 years, with its awe-inspiring architecture and wealth of civic history. Home to the City of London Corporation and still the centre of government in the City of London, this Grade I-listed landmark provides a magnificent backdrop. Not only to glittering banquets and receptions in honour of royal occasions, national celebrations and visiting Heads of State, but to spectacular corporate dinners, ceremonies and events across eleven versatile spaces.

Livery Hall

Situated underneath the Old Library, the Grade II-listed Livery Hall shares many of its vaulted Victorian Gothic features. Used as a museum from 1872 until the outbreak of WWII, the Livery Hall was restored and reopened as an events space in 2008 with illuminated lighting, purpose-built kitchen and immediately adjoining cloakroom facilities.

East & West Crypts

Side by side beneath the Great Hall lie the largest surviving medieval Crypts in London. Dating back to 1042 and while completely different in style, both are equally as evocative. The Crypts offer the perfect setting for unusual, distinctive events underneath spectacular vaulted ceilings decorated with carved bosses of shields and flowers.

GKN Aerospace

Since 2018, Venues All Areas & The Events Architect have organised our events, each for between 300 and 500 staff. Quite simply, they have all been a phenomenal success. Our Summer Party now runs over three days, involving everything from marquees, refined catering, smart sleeping tents, bands, and a myriad of other activities (even ice cream vans!). Our Christmas Party is traditional black tie, which they somehow also make special and out of the ordinary. They challenge themselves to go above and beyond, and they SUCCEED, whilst keeping within the all-important budget!

Victoria at The Events Architect took all the stress out of event planning for one of the biggest events in the Officers Mess calendar. The decorations and entertainment were phenomenal, funny and daring and tied in perfectly with our theme and audience. Having already got the venue, Victoria was able to craft a vision that fit the space perfectly and she was also extremely adaptable to short notice requests. It was a fantastic party and I could not recommend her enough.
