About The Great Chamber
100 Banquet
140 Theatre
180 Standing / Reception
50 Cabaret
The Great Chamber lives up to its name, with an original Tudor ceiling stretching overhead and a magnificent Jacobean fireplace anchoring the room. This is London's last surviving Tudor Great Chamber, where Elizabeth I prepared for her coronation and James I knighted his noblemen, and you can feel that weight of history in every corner. Rich green moiré silk lines the walls, creating a dramatic backdrop for the historic paintings that punctuate the space. Natural light pours through tall windows during daytime events, while evening gatherings take on an intimate glow that brings out the warm tones of the woodwork. The room adapts remarkably well to different occasions, whether you're planning an exclusive dinner for 100, a standing reception for 180, or a more intimate cabaret arrangement for 50 guests. We regularly see the space transformed for wedding receptions, where couples appreciate the theatrical setting for their first dance beneath that spectacular ceiling. Corporate clients often choose theatre-style seating for 140 when hosting presentations, with the historic atmosphere lending gravitas to product launches and company celebrations alike. The acoustics work particularly well for live music, making this a popular choice for concert performances and musical soirées. Our venue sits conveniently between Barbican and Farringdon stations, making arrival straightforward for your guests. The building offers full accessibility with ramps and adapted facilities throughout. You're welcome to bring in your preferred caterers and arrange your own bar service, plus we have Wi-Fi and audio equipment ready for use. Many clients bring their own DJ or live entertainment to personalise their celebration. Every booking here directly supports our 400-year charitable mission, helping maintain this extraordinary piece of London's heritage while creating unforgettable moments for your guests.
