Nestled in a secluded spot in West Smithfield, one of London’s newest Livery Halls houses one of its oldest Companies.

Designed by celebrated British Architect Sir Michael Hopkins, Haberdashers’ Hall combines modern architecture and state of the art technology with traditional materials and building skills to form a 21st century venue of the finest quality and highest standards. New uncontended high speed Ethernet Internet Access is available for webcasts and video conferencing. Take advantage of the opportunities presented to add webcasts and video conferencing at your event at our most high tech Livery Hall.
Haberdashers’ Hall has 6 brilliant event spaces to choose from:
Haberdashers’ Hall is the perfect venue for your Christmas party. The Courtyard glitters with fairy lights reflected in the sculptural fountain’s flow of water – a festive, welcoming sight. Upstairs, a beautifully decorated Christmas tree stands in the Reception Gallery, where the pre-dinner drinks reception takes place.
For dinner, guests are led under high vaulted ceilings to the magnificent oak-panelled Livery Hall, a modern interpretation of a medieval banqueting hall, where tables for a three-course meal are decorated with candles, festive centrepieces and crackers. Or you could opt for a selection of small plates and bowls, or food stalls with a Christmas market/winter wonderland theme.
After dinner, the party continues with a DJ and dancefloor; other entertainment options include a live band, pianist, carol singers, Christmas ballerinas, light jugglers and flaming torches – contact our catering partners at Graysons to discuss your Christmas party to end all parties.
From the moment you walk through Haberdashers’ Hall’s grand iron gates your attention is focussed on the tranquil courtyard garden, with its beautiful modern water feature, hand-cut lawn and fabulous array of sculptures (Henry Moore, Lynn Chadwick, Eduardo Paolozzi).
The large, light-filled Orangery’s floor-to-ceiling windows open directly onto the garden, enabling up to 450 guests throughout. Catering options include a barbecue (beef burgers, pulled pork baps, Marrakesh chicken skewers, Cumberland sausage dog, jackfruit and halloumi burger), food stalls (Smithfield Market, Billingsgate Market, Covent Garden, Pudding Lane) and bowl food; wine chosen by our sommelier, delicious cocktails. Giant courtyard games, classic bunting, cocktail making and DJs are all available, but if none of that’s quite right, just ask Graysons and the team there will work with you on a bespoke package.
Haberdashers’ Hall is one of London’s finest conference and meeting venues. The modern, architect-designed building is situated around an internal courtyard, complete with sculptural fountain and hand-cut lawn – a rare find in the heart of the City.
The adjoining Orangery offers a light and airy space for registration, meet and greet, exhibition space and arrival refreshments. The Livery Hall, the largest and most impressive conference space, with oak panelled walls, high vaulted ceilings and views of the Courtyard, leads directly from the Reception Gallery. Three additional rooms, all on the same floor, create the flexibility for break-out space or green rooms. Two of these rooms interconnect.
All spaces lead from the Reception Gallery, creating a central zone for networking, catering and exhibition stands. Haberdashers’ Hall is exclusively hired, allowing you to make the venue your own.
