About Whole Venue Hire
50 Theatre
Climb our 52-step spiral staircase and you'll find yourself in Europe's oldest surviving surgical theatre, where medical students once crowded the wooden benches to watch operations performed without anaesthetic. Our venue occupies the attic of St Thomas' Church, built in 1822, and we've been welcoming groups who want their meetings to spark genuine conversation ever since we opened to the public. The Whole Venue Hire gives you exclusive access to both the operating theatre and herb garret, where apothecaries stored medicinal plants beneath the original timber frames that still support the roof today. Your group of up to 50 can gather on the curved wooden benches that rise in tiers around the central demonstration area, an arrangement that naturally draws focus to your speaker without the need for screens or projectors. The wooden operating table remains at the centre, surrounded by our collection of surgical instruments and medical curiosities that provide unexpected conversation starters during coffee breaks. Natural light filters through the attic windows onto the worn wooden floors, while the central chandelier casts warm light across the space when daylight fades. We regularly host corporate workshops here, and facilitators tell us the historical setting helps teams think differently about modern challenges. Academic groups book us for seminars, training providers run professional development sessions, and film crews capture the authentic atmosphere for documentaries. Our location opposite Borough Market means your attendees can easily walk from London Bridge Station, though we always explain about the spiral staircase when taking bookings, as we can't accommodate wheelchair users or those with mobility limitations. Every booking helps maintain this piece of medical history, keeping these rooms and their stories accessible for future visitors. When you need a meeting space that gets people talking before your session even begins, our attic offers something no purpose-built conference room can match.
