About 1901
160 Theatre
180 Standing / Reception
160 Seated
The stained glass dome crowns everything at 1901, our most theatrical space. Step inside this Grade II-listed ballroom and you'll understand why fashion houses choose it for their London shows, why couples book it years in advance, and why corporate clients return season after season. Those original Victorian columns frame 180 of your guests for standing receptions, or seat 160 for dinner beneath chandeliers that have watched over a century of celebrations. We've preserved what matters, the soaring ceilings, the intricate architectural details, the way natural light filters through that magnificent dome, while quietly adding the technology your event needs. Our PA system handles everything from wedding bands to keynote speakers, and yes, we have all the AV equipment you'd expect, just tucked away until you need it. The space transforms beautifully. We've arranged it theatre-style for product launches, set long banquet tables for gala dinners, created intimate cabaret layouts for awards ceremonies, and configured U-shapes and classroom styles for more focused corporate gatherings. Our kitchen works directly with you on menus, whether that's canapés for a gallery-style reception or a full three-course dinner. Dietary requirements? We handle halal, kosher, gluten-free, and everything in between as standard. Being directly above Liverpool Street Station means your guests arrive easily, whether they're coming from the City or catching the Overground from Shoreditch. The ballroom's versatility shows in how it's hosted everything from charity auctions to tech summits, each event making use of that unique combination of Victorian grandeur and contemporary functionality. When you book 1901, you're not just getting a beautiful room, you're getting our experience in making these historic walls work for modern celebrations.
