Founders' Hall

Founders' Hall is a distinctive venue for organisers seeking an intimate setting in the City of London. Set on Cloth Fair, the Grade II listed building combines historic character with facilities for contemporary events. It is available for private hire for corporate gatherings, receptions, private dining, conferences, meetings, wedding receptions, dinners and celebrations.

The venue has two bookable spaces. The Hall, on the lower ground floor, has views towards the Priory Garden and can accommodate up to 100 guests for a reception or 75 for a banquet. The ground-floor Parlour offers a separate setting for smaller receptions and meetings, with capacity depending on the chosen layout. Theatre, classroom, boardroom, cabaret and U-shape arrangements are also available, making the rooms suitable for both formal dining and business events.

Practical facilities include high-speed broadband, a wall-mounted presentation screen with HDMI and wireless connection, a lectern, handheld microphone and cloakroom. All-day hire and event management support are offered, and organisers can bring their own branding. Catering is provided by Life's Kitchen, which can discuss menus and event requirements directly with clients.

Founders' Hall also welcomes production and location hire, including filming, green rooms and crew holding. Its central setting is within walking distance of Barbican, Farringdon and St Paul's stations, giving guests convenient public transport access. The venue team can discuss availability, room set-up and catering needs to help shape a booking around the occasion.
