About Council Chamber
100 Standing / Reception
60 Seated
Rich mahogany panels wrap around our Council Chamber, where a magnificent domed ceiling crowns this Art Nouveau jewel within The Old Finsbury Town Hall. Step through from the sweeping staircases and you'll find yourself in a space where Edwardian craftsmanship meets contemporary celebration, complete with white pillars that rise elegantly to frame your event. Natural light dances through our original stained glass windows during daytime gatherings, painting gentle colours across the wood panelling. As evening approaches, our period chandeliers and delicate lighting fixtures transform the atmosphere, casting a warm glow that complements both cocktail receptions and formal dinners. The dome above creates remarkable acoustics, making every toast and conversation feel intimate despite the room's generous proportions. We can arrange the Council Chamber for up to 100 guests standing, perfect for drinks receptions where people naturally gather around the architectural features. For seated dining, we comfortably accommodate 60 guests at round tables, with the mahogany panels creating a distinguished backdrop for wedding breakfasts or celebration dinners. Many couples use this as their cocktail hour space while we transform the Great Hall for dinner, taking advantage of the direct access between both rooms. The versatility here surprises many party planners. We've seen the space work beautifully as a dedicated bar area for larger celebrations, a quieter retreat where guests can catch up away from the dancefloor, or as the main party room for more intimate gatherings. Birthday parties often start here with champagne and canapés before moving through to other spaces, while corporate celebrations appreciate the professional yet celebratory atmosphere the historic details provide. Our Clerkenwell location means your guests arrive easily via nearby transport links, ready to enjoy an evening in this remarkable 1895 building where Art Nouveau elegance sets the stage for modern celebrations.
